Cocaine Blues (Album Version)
Early one mornin while makin the rounds
I took a shot of cocaine and shot my woman down
I went right home and I went to bed
I stuck that lovin' forty 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 show
They overtook me down in Juarez Mexico
Laid in the hot joint takin' the pill
In walked a sheriff from Jericho hell
He saidwilly lee your name is not Jack Brown
You're the dirty hack that shot your woman down
I said yes sir my name is willie Lee
If you've got a warrant just read it to me
Shot her down cause she made me slow
I thought I was her daddy but she had five more
Move I was arrested I was dressed in black
They put me on a train and they took me back
Had no friends for to go my bail
They slapped my dried up carcass in the country jail
Early next morning about a half past nine
I sped a sheriff comin' down the line
Coughed and coughd as he cleared his throat
He said come on you dirty hack into that district court
Into the court room 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 baout five minutes in walked a man
Holding the verdict in his right hand
The verdict read in the first degree
I hollered Lordy Loedy have mercy on me
The judge he smiled as he picked up his pen
Ninety nine years in the Folson pen
Ninety nine years underneath that ground
I can't forget the day I shot that bad citch down
Come on you gotta listen unto me
Lay off that whiskey and let that cocaine be
