Cocaine Blues

In the style of

Johnny Cash

Lyrics

early one mornin'
while makin' the rounds

i took a shot of cocaine
and i shot my woman down

i went right home
and i went to bed

i stuck that lovin'
fourty-four beneath my head

got up next mornin'
and i grabbed that gun

took a shot of cocaine
and away i run

made a good run
but i run too slow

they overtook me down
in juarez mexico

layed in the hot
joints takin' the pills

in walks the sheriff
from jericho hill

he said willy lee your name
is not jack brown

you're the dirty hack
that shot your woman down

said yes, oh, yes
my name is willy lee

if you've got a warrant
just read it to me

shot her down because
she made me slow

i thought i was her daddy
but she had five more

when i was arrested
i was dressed in black

they put me on a train
and they took me back

had no friend for
to go my bail

they slapped my dried up
carcass in that county jail

early next mornin'
'bout a half past nine

i spied a sheriff comin'
down the line

up then he coughed
as he cleared his throat

he said come on you dirty
hack into that district court

into the courtroom
my trial began

where i was handled
by twelve honest men

just before the jury started out
i saw that little judge

commence to look about

in about five minutes in
walked a man

holdin' the verdict
in his right hand

the verdict read
in the first degree

i hollered lordy lordy
have mercy on me

the judge he smiled
as he picked up his pen

ninety-nine years
in the folsom pen'

ninety-nine years
underneath that ground

i can't forget the day
i shot that bad bitch down

come on you gotta
listen unto me

lay off that whisky
and let that cocaine be
