Early one morning while making the rounds I took a shot of ******* and I shot my woman down I went right home and I went to bed I stuck that loving 44 beneath my head
Got up next morning and I grabbed that gun took a shot of ******* 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 taking 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 aread 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 country jail
Early next morning 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 twelve honest men
Just before the jury started out I saw the 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 Lowdy Lowdy have a mercy on me
The judge he smiled as he picked up his ben 99 years in the Folsom pen 99 years underneath that ground I can't forget the day I shot that bad ***** down
Come on you've gotta listen unto me lay off that whiskey and let that ******* be
