Early one morning while makin' the roundsI took a shot of cocaine and I shot my baby downI shot her down then I went to bedI stuck that lovin' forty-four beneath my headWoke up next morning and I grabbed that gunI took a shot of cocaine and away I runMade a good run but I run too slowThe overtook me down in Juarez MexicoIn the hot joint takin' the pillThere walked the sheriff from Jericho HillWilly Lee your name is not Jack BrownYou're the dirty hack that shot your woman downYes so my name's is Billy LeeIf you've got a warrant you better read it to meI shot her down 'cause she made me soreI thought I was her daddy but she had five moreWhen I was arrested I was dressed in blackThey threw me on a freight train and hauled me backHad no friend who'd go my bailThey stuck my dried-up carcass in the county jailEarly next morning 'round half past nineI saw the sheriff comin' down the lineThat sheriff yelled as he cleared his throatSongtexteSaid come on you dirty hackin' to the district courtInto the courtroom my trial beganWhere I was judged by twelve honest menYes as the jury started walkin' outI saw that little judge commence to look aboutIn about five minutes then walked a manHolding the verdict in his right handThe verdict read in the first degreeI shouted Lordy Lordy please have mercy on meThe judge he smiled when he picked up his penNinety-nine years in the San Quentin PennNinety-nine years underneath that groundBut I can't forget that day I shot that bad bitch downCome on you hotheads you listen to meStay off that whiskey and let that cocaine be Aus Songtexte Mania
