Tonart: G major
Verse 1
G
C
Early one morning
while making the rounds
I took a shot of cocaine
G
and I shot my woman down
Went right home and I went to bed
C
G
C
I stuck that lovin' .44 beneath my head
Got up next morning
and I grabbed that gun
G
Took a shot of cocaine and away I run
Had a good run, but I ran too slow
C
G
They overtook me down in Juarez, Mexico
C
Let in the hot joint, taking the pill
G
In walked the sheriff from Jericho Hill
He said, Willie Lee,
your name is not Jack Brown
G
that shot your woman down
C
Oh yes, oh yes, my name is Willie Lee
G
If you've got a warrant, just read it to me
I shot her down, cause she made me slow
C
G
I thought I was her daddy,
but she had five more
I was dressed in black
They put me on a train
I had no friend for to call my bail
C
G
They threw my dried up carcass
in the county jail
C
Got up next morning about half past nine
G
I saw a sheriff comin' down the line
He cuffed and bopped as
he cleared his throat
C
He said, come on, you dirty heck,
G
into the district court
C
Into the courtroom my trial began
G
Where I was tried by twelve honest men
Before that jury started out
C
I saw that little judge
C
In about five minutes it
whacked a man
G
Holding the verdict in his right hand
The verdict read him the first degree
C
G
C
I hollered, Lordy, Lordy, have mercy on me
The judge, he smiled
as he picked up his pen
G
Ninety -nine years in that fulsome pen
Ninety -nine years underneath that ground
C

Come on, you've got to listen unto me
Dm
Lay off that whiskey

and leave that cocaine be
