Early one mornin' while makin' the rounds I took a shot of cocaine and I shot my woman down Went right home and I went to bed I stuck that lovin' 44 beneath my head Woke up next mornin' grabbed that gun Took a shot of cocaine and away I run I made a good run but I went too slow They overtook me down in Juarez Mexico Late in the hot joints smokin' the pill In walked the sheriff from Jericho Hill He said Willy Lee your name is not Jack Brown You're the dirty hack that shot your woman down Yes oh yes my name is Willy Lee If you've got the warrant just read it to me Shot her cold cause she made me sore I thought I was her daddy but she had five more Put me on the train I was dressed in black Came the sherriff and he brought me back Had no one for to go my bail They slapped my dried up carcass in that country jail And next morning along about nine Letras de cancionesI spied the sheriff coming down the line Ah and he coughed as he cleared his throat He said come on you dirty hack into that district court Into the courtroom trial began Where I was handled by twelve honest men Just before the jury started out I saw the little judge commence to look about In about five minutes in walked the man Holding the verdict in his right hand The verdict read in the first degree I hollered Lowdy Lowdy have a mercy on me Judge he smiled as he picked up his ben Ninety-nine years in that old San Quentin pen Ninety-nine years underneath that ground I can't forget the day I shot my woman down Come all you hots and listen unto me Lay off that whiskey and let that cocaine be.
