Cocaine Blues               

C 
Early one morning while makin' the rounds,
                               G
I took a shot of cocaine and I shot my woman down,
                                G7
I went right home and I went to bed,
  C                         G          C
I stuck a lovin' forty-four beneath my head.
 
C
Got up next morning and I grabbed that gun,
                             G
I took a shot of cocaine and away I run,
                              G7
made a good run but I run too slow,
     C                          G   C
they overtook me down in Juarez Mexico.
 
C
Late n the hot joint takin' the pill,
                           G
In walked the sheriff from Jericho Hill.
                                     G7
He said, “Willy Lee your name is not Jack Brown, C                                    G     C
you're the dirty hack that shot your woman down”.
 
C
Oh yes, o yes,  my name's is Billy Lee,
                                 G
if you've got a warrant just a - read it to me,
                                    G7
I shot her down because she made me sore,
C                                     G    C
I thought I was her daddy but she had five more.
C
When I was arrested I was dressed in black,
                                G
they put me on a train and they took me back,
                           G7
had no friend for to go my bail,
     C                                G      C
they stuck my dried-up carcass in the county jail.
 
C
Early next morning 'bout at half past nine,
                         G
I saw the sheriff comin' down the line,
                                      G7
that sheriff yelled as he cleared his throat,
          C                               G        C
he said, “Come on you dirty hack into the district court.
 C
Into the courtroom my trial began,
                       G
where I was handled by twelve honest men.
                             G7
Just before the jury started out,
  C                                 G    C
I saw that little judge commence to look about.
 
C
In about five minutes in walked a man,
                       G
holding the verdict in his right hand,
                               G7
the verdict read “In the first degree”,
C                            G        C
I hollered Lordy Lordy, have mercy on me.
 
C
The judge he smiled as he picked up his pen,
                         G
ninety-nine years in the Folsom Penn,
                                  G7
ninety-nine years underneath that ground,
C                                       G     C
I can't forget that day I shot that bad bitch down.
