Verse 1
G
C
Early one morning
while I'm making a round
I took a shot of cocaine
I'd stray home and I'd lay to bed
C
G
I'd stack my love and .44
Get up the next morning I'd grab my gun
I took a shot of cocaine
Made a good run, but I ran too slow
C

They all took me down in Juras, Mexico
He said, Willie Lee,
your name is not Jack Brown
G
C
that shot your woman down
G
C
Oh yes, oh yes, my name is Willie Lee
I shut her down cause she made me so
C
G
I thought I was her daddy
but she had five more
was dressed in black
They put me on a train
Had nobody for to go my bail
C
G
They slapped my dried up carcass
F

in that county jail
C

Early next morning, about half past nine
The man he cuffed as he cleared his throat
C

He said, come on, you dirty hack,
into the district court
Just before the jury started out

I saw that little judge
commence to look about
G

Holding 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
C

Ninety -nine years in that Folsom pen
Ninety -nine years underneath that crown

I can't forget the day
I shot that bad bitch down
C

So come on, fellas, listen unto me
