Verse 1
(G major) (C major) Early one mornin'
while makin' the rounds
I took a shot of cocaine
and I (G major) shot my woman down
I went right home and I went to bed
I (C major) stuck at eleven forty
-four beneath my (G major) head
Got (C major) up next mornin' and I
grabbed that gun
Took a shot of cocaine and (G major) away I run
Made a good run, but I run too slow
They (C major) overtook me down in Juarez, Mexico
Laid in the hot joints, taking the pill
And walked the sheriff from (G major) Jericho Hill
He said, Willie Lee,
your name is not Jack Brown
You're (C major) the dirty hack
that shot your woman down
(G major) I (C major) said, yes,
oh yes, my (G major) name is (C major) Willie Lee
If you've got a warrant
just to (G major) read it to me
Shot her down because she made me slow
I (C major) 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 (G major) took me back
Had no friend for to go my bail
They (C major) slapped my dad a carcass
in that County (G major) Jail
(C major) Early next morning about a half past nine.
I spot a sheriff coming (G major) down the line
I'm Sandy cocked as he
flared his throat.
He said come (C major) on you dirty hack
into that district court (G major)
(C major) Into the courtroom my trial began
Where I was handled by (G major) 12 honest men
Just before the jury started out
I (C major) saw that little judge
come as to (G major) look about (C major)
In about five minutes
and walked a man
Holding the verdict in (G major) his right hand
The verdict read in the first degree
I (C major) hollered, Lordy, Lordy, have mercy on me
The judge, he smiled
as he picked up his pen
Ninety -nine years in the (G major) Folsom pen
Ninety -nine years underneath that ground
I (C major) can't forget the day
I shut that bad bitch (C major) down
Come on, you gotta listen (F major) un to me
Lay (D major) off that whiskey and
(G major) let that cocaine be (C major)
These men have receptions,
Matlock, A50632,
and Batchelder, A39879.
They have receptions. I doubt that.
You
Folsom Prison Blues
