Cocaine Blues Lyrics

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 run too slow They overtook me down in Juarez, Mexico
Late in the hot joints takin' the pill In walked the sheriff from Jericho Hill He said, "Willy Lee your name is not Jack Brown You're the dirty hack that shot your woman down"
Said, "Yes, oh yes, my name is Willy Lee If you've got a warrant just read it to me Shot her down because she made me slow I thought I was her daddy but she had five more"
In about five minutes in walked a man 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 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 gotta' listen to unto me Lay off that whiskey, let that cocaine be
