Johnny Cash - Cocaine blues

^AEarly one mornin' while makin' the round I took a shot of cocaine and I ^Eshot my woman down I went right home and I went to bed ^AI stuck that lovin' .44 beneath my head

^AGot up next mornin' and I grabbed that gun, Took a shot of cocaine and ^Eaway I run, made a good run but I ran too slow ^AThey overtook me down in Juarez, Mexico

^ALate in the hot joints takin' the pills, In walked the sheriff from ^EJericho Hill He said Willy Lee your name is not Jack Brown ^AYou're the dirty heck that shot your woman down

^ASaid yes, oh yes my name is Willy Lee, If you've got the warrant just ^Ea-read it to me, shot her down because she made me sore ^AI thought I was her daddy but she had five more

^AWhen I was arrested I was dressed in black, they put me on a train and they ^Etook me back, had no friend for to go my bail ^AThey slapped my dried up carcass in that county jail

^AEarly next mornin' bout a half past nine, I spied the sheriff coming ^Edown the line, Ah, and he coughed as he cleared his throat He said ^Acome on you dirty heck into that district court

^AInto the courtroom my trial began Where I was handled by ^Etwelve honest men, Just before the jury started out ^AI saw the little judge commence to look about

^AIn about five minutes in walked the man, Holding the verdict in ^Ehis right hand, The verdict read murder in the first degree ^AI hollered Lawdy Lawdy, have a mercy on me

^AThe judge he smiled as he picked up his pen 99 years in the ^EFolsom pen, 99 years underneath that ground ^AI can't forget the day I shot that bad bitch down

^ACome on you've gotta listen ^B7unto me, ^ELay off that whiskey and let that cocaine ^Abe.
