Play this lead when you go back to C at the beginning of each verse:
CEarly one mornin' while makin' the rounds
I took a shot of cocaine and I Gshot my woman down
Went right home and I went to bed
I Cstuck that lovin' forty-four beneath my head
CGot up next mornin' and I grabbed my gun
I took a shot of cocaine and Gaway I run
Made a good run but I run too slow
They Covertook me down in Juarez Mexico
CLayed in the hot joint takin' the pill
In walked a sheriff from GJericho Hill
He said, "Willy Lee, your name is not Jack Brown,
CYou're the dirty hack that shot your woman down"
"CYes, Oh Yes, My name is Willy Lee,
If you've got a warrant just Gread it to me,
Shot her down because she made me slow,
I Cthought I was her daddy but she had five more"
CWhen I was arrested I was dressed in black
They put me on a train and they Gtook me back
Had no friend for to go my bail
They Cslapped my dried-up carcass in that county jail
CThe next mornin' about a half past nine
I spyed a sheriff comin' Gdown the line
He kind of coughed as he cleared his throat
He Csaid "Come on, you dirty hack to the district court...."
CInto the courtroom my trial began
Where I was held by Gtwelve honest men
Just before the jury started out
I Csaw that dirty judge commence to look about
CIn about five minutes in walked a man
Holding the verdict in Ghis right hand
The verdict read "In the first degree...."
I Chollered "Lordy, Lordy, have mercy on me!"
CThe judge smiled as he picked up his pen
Ninety-nine years in the GFolsom State pen
Ninety-nine years underneath that ground
I Ccan't forget the day I shot that bad bitch down
CCome on you gotta listen Funto me
GLay off that whiskey and let that cocaine Cbe.... SoCoey!
