Verse 1
D
Early one evening I was rollin' around
And I was feelin' kinda mean,
A
I hit a deck a bit down
D
Strolled along, home and I went to bed
A
I laid my pistol un der my head
D
G
He strolled on home, I took my time
thought I'd sleep some more
A
D
I laid his pistol up under his neck.
I'd keep it down.
Early in the morning on the break of day,
A
I figured it was time to make my getaway.
D
I was stepping right along,
but I was stepping too slow.
Got surrounded by the sheriff
A
D
down in Mexico.
G
I right along, but was off the hook.
D
I was stepping too slow.
A
D
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,
A
you're riding free this time.
you won't need a cent,
because the great state of Texas
A
is going to pay your rent.
D
G
Tell us where you're going.
Thank you, Mr. J.
You know it's not a loan.
A
Because the great state of Texas
D
is going to pay your rent.
I might agree with you.
Well, I didn't have a key
G
D
and I didn't have a file,
G
A
D
naturally I stayed around until my trial.
The judge was a old man, 93,

The judge was an old man,
D
too old, 93, entirely too old.
A

I think they were suspicious.
The judge and the jury didn't agree,
A
D
they all said murder in the first degree.
The judge said...
Gm
I don't know whether to
hang you or not,
G
but this here killing of deputy sheriffs
A
has just naturally got to stop.
D
D
You got a point there, Judge.
D
It was a most unsatisfactory trial.
They gave you ninety -nine years
A
D
on the hard rock pile.
Ninety -nine on the hard rock ground.

All I ever did was shoot a deputy.
It could have been life,

They might have hung me,

Was shoot the deputy down.
D

This little thing is surer
than the rest of me.
