Early one mornin' while makin' my roundsI took a shot of cocaine and I shot my woman downWent right home and I went to bedAnd stuck that lovin' .44 beneath my headGot up next mornin' and I grabbed up that gunTook a shot of cocaine and away I runMade my run but I run too slowThey overtook me down in Juarez, MexicoLate in the hot joint, smokin' a dealIn walked the sheriff from Jericho HillHe said, "Willy Lee, your name is not Jack Brown"Said, "You're the dirty hack that shot your woman down""Yes, oh yes, my name is Willy LeeIf you've got a warrant just read it to meI shot her down because she made me soreI thought I was her daddy but she had five more"When I was arrested I was dressed in blackThey put me on a train and they took me backI had no friend for to go my bailThey slapped my dried up [Incomprehensible] jailEarly next mornin' 'bout a half past nineI spot that big old sheriff comin' down the lineHe hacked and he coughed as he cleared his throatSaid, "Come on, you dirty hack" into that district courtInto the courtroom, my trial beganWhere I was handled by twelve honest menJust before the jury started outI saw that little judge commence to look aboutIn about five minutes in walked a manHolding up the verdict in his right hand"Guilty, guilty in the first degree"I hollered, "Someone please come sing them blues to me"The judge he smiled as he picked up his penAnd he said, "99 years in that San Quentin pen"99 years underneath that groundI'd never forget the day I shot that bad bitch downCome on, get up and listen unto meLay off that whiskey and let that cocaine be
