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' 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 warren mexico. Laid in the hot joint takin' the pill In walked a sheriff from jeraco hill He said willy lee your name is not jack brown You're the dirty hack that shot your woman down. Oh yes oh yes my name is willie lee If you've got a warrant just a read it to me I shot her down cause she made me slow 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 I had no friend for to go my bail They slapped a dime of carcus in the county jail. Earley next morning about a half past nine I spotted a sheriff walkin' down the line My daddy coughed as he cleared his throat He said come on you dirty hack into The district court Into the court rom my trial began Where I was held by twelve honest men Before the jury started out I saw that little judge commence to look about. In a bout 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 Ninety nine years in the federal(/folson)pen Ninety nine years underneath that ground I can't forget the day I shot that bad bitch down Come on come on and listen to me Stay off that whiskey and let that cocaine be
