Cocaine Blues Lyrics by The Loved Ones

All Aboard: A Tribute to Johnny Cash

0

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
Oh, they overtook me down in Juarez Mexico
Late in the hot joints, takin' my pills
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 a read it to me
Shot her down because 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
Had no friends to put my bail
They slapped my dried up carcass in that county jail
Early next mornin' 'bout a half past 9
I spied a sheriff coming down the line
He coughed oh, he cleared his throat
He said, "Come on, you dirty heck into the court"
Into the courtroom my trial began
Where I was handled by twelve honest men
Just before the jury started out
I saw that little judge commence to look about
In about five minutes in walked a man
He held the verdict in his right hand
The verdict read in the first degree
I hollered, "Lordy, Lordy, have a mercy on me"
The judge, he smiled as he picked up his pen
99 years in the Folsom pen
99 years underneath the ground
Can't forget the day I shot that bad bitch down
Come on, come on, you've gotta listen to me
Lay off that whiskey and let that cocaine be
Let that cocaine be
