Johnny Cash - Cocaine blues

^C#Early one mornin' while makin' the round I took a shot of cocaine and I ^G#shot my woman down I went right home and I went to bed ^C#I stuck that lovin' .44 beneath my head

^C#Got up next mornin' and I grabbed that gun, Took a shot of cocaine and ^G#away I run, made a good run but I ran too slow ^C#They overtook me down in Juarez, Mexico

^C#Late in the hot joints takin' the pills, In walked the sheriff from ^G#Jericho Hill He said Willy Lee your name is not Jack Brown ^C#You're the dirty heck that shot your woman down

^C#Said yes, oh yes my name is Willy Lee, If you've got the warrant just ^G#a-read it to me, shot her down because she made me sore ^C#I thought I was her daddy but she had five more

^C#When I was arrested I was dressed in black, they put me on a train and they ^G#took me back, had no friend for to go my bail ^C#They slapped my dried up carcass in that county jail

^C#Early next mornin' bout a half past nine, I spied the sheriff coming ^G#down the line, Ah, and he coughed as he cleared his throat He said ^C#come on you dirty heck into that district court

^C#Into the courtroom my trial began Where I was handled by ^G#twelve honest men, Just before the jury started out ^C#I saw the little judge commence to look about

^C#In about five minutes in walked the man, Holding the verdict in ^G#his right hand, The verdict read murder in the first degree ^C#I hollered Lawdy Lawdy, have a mercy on me

^C#The judge he smiled as he picked up his pen 99 years in the ^G#Folsom pen, 99 years underneath that ground ^C#I can't forget the day I shot that bad bitch down

^C#Come on you've gotta listen ^F#unto me, ^G#Lay off that whiskey and let that cocaine ^C#be
