Early one evening I was rollin' around
And I was feelin' kinda mean,
F#
I hit a deck of the town

Strolled along, home and I went to bed
F#
I laid my pistol un der my head
B
E
He strolled on home, I took my time
thought I'd sleep some more
F#
B
I laid his pistol up under his neck.
I'd keep it down.
Early in the morning on the break of day,
F#
I figured it was time to make my getaway.
B
I was stepping right along,
but I was stepping too slow.
Got surrounded by the sheriff
F#
B
down in Mexico.
E
I right along, but was off the hook.
B
I was stepping too slow.
F#
B
Got surrounded by the sheriff in Mexico.
I didn't even get a chance
to see the country.
When I was arrested, didn't have a dime.
The sheriff said, son,
F#
you're riding free this time.
you won't need a cent,
because the great state of Texas
F#
is going to pay your rent.
B
E
Tell us where you're going.
Thank you, Mr. J.
You know it's not a loan.

Because the great state of Texas

I might agree with you.
Well, I didn't have a key
E

and I didn't have a file,

The judge was an old man,

too old, 93, entirely too old.

I think they were suspicious.
The judge and the jury didn't agree,
F#
B
they all said murder in the first degree.
The judge said...
Em
I don't know whether to
hang you or not,
E
but this here killing of deputy sheriffs
F#
has just naturally got to stop.
B

You got a point there, Judge.

It was a most unsatisfactory trial.
They gave you 91 years

on the hard rock pile.
99 on the hard rock ground.

All I ever did was shoot a deputy. 99!
