Early one mornin' while makin' the rounds
I took a shot of cocaine and I shot my woman down
I went right home and I went to bed
I stuck that lovin' .44 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 ran too slow
They overtook me down in Juarez, Mexico
Late in the hot joints takin' the pills
In walked the sheriff from Jericho Hill
He said Willy Lee, your name is not Jack Brown
You're the dirty heck that shot your woman down
Said yes, oh yes, my name is Willy Lee
If you've got the warrant, just read it to me
Shot her down because she made me sore
I 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 took me back
Had no friend for to go my bail
They slapped my dried up carcass in that county jail
Got up next mornin' 'bout a half past nine
I spied the sheriff coming down the line
Ah, and he coughed as he cleared his throat
He said, "Come on, you dirty heck, into that district court"
Into the courtroom my trial began
Where I was handled by 12 honest men
Just before the jury started out
I saw that little judge commence to look about
In about five minutes in walked the man
Holding the verdict in his right hand
The verdict read in the first degree
I hollered, "Lawdy, Lawdy, have a mercy on me"
The judge, he smiled as he picked up his pen
99 years in the Folsom pen
99 years underneath that ground
I can't forget the day I shot that bad bitch down
Come on, you've gotta listen unto me
Lay off that whiskey, let that cocaine be
Thank you very much, we're gonna do that one for you
I'd like you to meet, since the death of Luther Perkins, our guitarist
This young man is doing a wonderful job
From Tulsa, Oklahoma, Mr. Bob Wooton
Bob Wooton
The other, the other third of Tennessee Three had been with me for 13 years
Marshall Grant and W.S. Holland
I took a shot of cocaine and I shot my woman down
I went right home and I went to bed
I stuck that lovin' .44 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 ran too slow
They overtook me down in Juarez, Mexico
Late in the hot joints takin' the pills
In walked the sheriff from Jericho Hill
He said Willy Lee, your name is not Jack Brown
You're the dirty heck that shot your woman down
Said yes, oh yes, my name is Willy Lee
If you've got the warrant, just read it to me
Shot her down because she made me sore
I 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 took me back
Had no friend for to go my bail
They slapped my dried up carcass in that county jail
Got up next mornin' 'bout a half past nine
