Chords:
CEarly one mornin' while makin' the rounds
CI took a shot of cocaine and I Gshot my woman down
GI went right home and I went to bed
I Cstuck that lovin' 44 beneath my head
CGot up next mornin' and I grabbed that gun
CTook a shot of cocaine and aGway I run
GMade a good run but I ran too slow
They Covertook me down in Juarez Mexico
CLate in the hot joints takin' the pills
CIn walked the sheriff from GJericho Hill
GHe said Willy Lee your name is not Jack Brown
CYou're the dirty heck that shot your woman down
CSaid yes, oh yes my name is Willy Lee
CIf you've got the warrant just a-read it to me
G Shot her down because she made me sore
I Cthought I was her daddy but she had five more
CWhen I was arrested I was dressed in black
CThey put me on a train and they Gtook me back
GHad no friend for to go my bail
They Cslapped my dried up carcass in that county jail
CEarly next mornin' bout a half past nine
CI spied the sheriff coming Gdown the line
GAh, and he coughed as he cleared his throat
He said come Con you dirty heck into that district court
CInto the courtroom my trial began
CWhere I was handled by Gtwelve honest men
GJust before the jury started out
I Csaw the little judge commence to look about
CIn about five minutes in walked the man
CHolding the verdict in Ghis right hand
GThe verdict read murder in the first degree
I Chollered Lordy Lordy, have a mercy on me
CThe judge he smiled as he picked up his pen
C99 years in the GFolsom pen
G99 years underneath that ground
I Ccan't forget the day I shot that bad bitch down
