Verse 1
C
Early one evening I was rollin' around
And I was feelin' kinda mean,

I hit a deck of the town
C
Strolled along, home and I went to bed
G
I laid my pistol un der my head
C
F
He strolled on home, I took my time
thought I'd sleep some more
G
C
I laid his pistol up under his neck.
I'd keep it down.
Early in the morning on the break of day,
G
I figured it was time to make my getaway.
C
I was stepping right along,
but I was stepping too slow.
Got surrounded by the sheriff
G
C
down in Mexico.
F
I right along, but was off the hook.
C
I was stepping too slow.
G
C
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,
G
you're riding free this time.
you won't need a cent,
because the great state of Texas
G
is going to pay your rent.
C
F
Tell us where you're going.
Thank you, Mr. J.
You know it's not a loan.
G
Because the great state of Texas
C
is going to pay your rent.
I might agree with you.
Well, I didn't have a key
F
C
and I didn't have a file,
F
G
C
naturally I stayed around until my trial.
The judge was a old man, 93,

and I didn't like the way the jury looked
C

The judge was an old man,
C
too old, 93, entirely too old.

I think they were suspicious.
The judge and the jury didn't agree,
G

they all said murder in the first degree.
The judge said...
Fm
I don't know whether to
hang you or not,
F
but this here killing of deputy sheriffs
G
has just naturally got to stop.
C

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!

the deputy down.
