Cocaine Blues (live) Full Lyrics
[00:04.62] Early one mornin' while makin' the rounds
[00:08.18] I took a shot of cocaine and I shot my woman down
[00:11.99] I went right home and I went to bed
[00:16.30] I stuck that lovin' .44 beneath my head
[00:20.73] Got up next mornin' and I grabbed that gun
[00:24.26] Took a shot of cocaine and away I run
[00:28.26] Made a good run but I run too slow
[00:32.09] They overtook me down in Juarez, Mexico
[00:36.92] Late in the hot joints takin' the pills
[00:40.28] In walked the sheriff from Jericho Hill
[00:44.28] He said, Willy Lee your name is not Jack Brown
[00:48.26] You're the dirty hack that shot your woman down
[00:52.13] Said, "Yes, oh yes my name is Willy Lee
[00:56.03] If you've got a warrant just a-read it to me
[00:59.84] Shot her down because she made me slow
[01:03.67] I thought I was her daddy but she had five more"
[01:09.65] When I was arrested I was dressed in black
[01:13.89] They put me on a train and they took me back
[01:18.08] Had no friend for to go my bail
[01:21.53] They slapped my dried up carcass in that county jail
[01:25.96] Early next mornin' bout a half past nine
[01:29.70] I spied a sheriff coming down the line
[01:34.07] Hawked and he coughed as he cleared his throat
[01:37.08] He said, "Come on you dirty hack into that district court"
[01:41.61] Into the courtroom my trial began
[01:45.27] Where I was handled by twelve honest men
[01:49.40] Just before the jury started out
[01:53.15] I saw that little judge commence to look about
[01:57.94] In about five minutes in walked the man
[02:02.15] Holding the verdict in his right hand
[02:05.87] The verdict read in the first degree
[02:09.57] I hollered, "Lawdy Lawdy, have mercy on me"
[02:14.34] The judge he smiled as he picked up his pen
[02:17.67] 99 years in the Folsom pen
[02:21.48] 99 years underneath that ground
[02:25.68] I can't forget the day I shot that bad bitch down
[02:30.13] Come all you gotta listen unto me
[02:33.43] Lay off that whiskey and let that cocaine be
[02:39.98]
