Start Jamming...
[Bbm] [Db] I was only one morning while making the rounds.
I took a shot of [Ab] cocaine and I shot my woman down.
I went right home and I went to bed.
[Db] I put that 11-44 beneath [Ab] my head.
[Db] Got up next morning and I grabbed that gun.
I took the shot of cocaine [Ab] and away I run.
Made a good run but I run too slow.
[Db] They overtook me down in Juarez, Mexico.
Laid in the hot joint, taking the pill.
And walked the chair [Ab] up on Pantarico Hill.
He said, Willie Lee, your name is not Jack Brown.
[Db] You're the dirty hack that shot your woman [Cm] down.
[Db] Said, yes, oh yes, my name is Willie Lee.
If you got a [Ab] warrant, just hurry up to me.
Shot her down because she made me [Fm] so.
[Db] I thought I was her daddy but she had five more.
When I was arrested, I was dressed in black.
They put me on a train [Ab] and they took me back.
Had no cram for to go, [Bbm] my gal.
I [Ab] dried up carcass in the county jail.
[Db] Early next morning, about a half past nine,
I spot the sheriff [Ab] coming down the line.
I hand him the carcass, he cleared his throat.
He [Db] said, good morning, you dirty hack, into the district [Ab] [Bb] court.
[Db] Into the courtroom my trial began.
Where I was handled [Ab] by twelve honest men.
Just before the jury started [Db] out, I saw that
little judge commence to look [Ab] about.
[Cm] [Db] In about five minutes, he walked the man.
Holding the verdicts [Ab] in his right hand.
The verdict read in the first degree,
[Db] I hollered, Lordy, Lordy, have mercy [Ab] on [Bb] me.
[Db] The judge, he smiled as he picked up his pen.
Ninety-nine years [Ab] in the Folsom pen.
Ninety-nine years underneath that ground.
[Db] I can't forget the day I shot that bad [Ab] bitch down.
[Db] Come on, you [F] gotta [Gb] listen unto [Bbm] me.
[Eb] Lay off that whiskey [Ab] and bust that cocaine [Db] beat.
[Dbm]
