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

Verse 2

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

Verse 3

C
Laid in the hot joints takin' the pills
C                           G
In walked the sheriff from Jericho Hill
G
He said Willie Lee your name is not Jack Brown
G           C    NC
You're the dirty hack that shot your woman down

Verse 4

C
Said yes, oh yes my name is Willie Lee
C                             G
If you've got a warrant just read it to me
G
Shot her down because she made me slow
G    C               NC
I thought I was her daddy but she had five more

Verse 5

C
When I was arrested I was dressed in black
C                                G
They put me on a train and they took me back
G
Had no friend for to go my bail
G      C         NC
They slapped my dottered carcass in that county jail

Verse 6

C
Early next mornin' bout a half past nine
C                           G
I spied the sheriff coming down the line
G
He kind of coughed as he cleared his throat
G    C                 NC
He said, "Come on you dirty hack to the district court"

Verse 7

C
Into the courtroom my trial began
C                     G
Where I was held by twelve honest men
G
Just before the jury started out
G   C       NC
I saw that dirty judge commence to look about

Verse 8

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

Verse 9

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

Refrain

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