INTRO: A↓ Blues Scale
CHORUS: D7
Call up Trudy on the telephone
Send a letter in the mailA7
Tell her I'm hung up in DE7allas
And they won't let me outta this A7jail
And if she asks you how I'm faD7iring
Tell her I'm just about to lose my A7mind
Worried about old Johnny Lee E7Walker
A7 A↓ Blues Scale
And the girl I left behind
VERSE: D7
Now Johnny Lee Walker was a card mechanic
Had a hand for trouble and an eye forA7 cash
Luckiest man in Dallas E7County
He had a gold watch chain and a black mousA7tache
And he loved his whiskey and he loved his D7women
Drove a big long Cadillac limouA7sine
Kept a big fine fancy townhouseE7 in Dallas
And a hotel suite in New OrA7leans
Carried a switchblade knife in his left hip D7pocket
And a 44 hog leg up under his A7coat
Cut you down in a New York E7minute
A7 A↓ Blues Scale
If he catch you cheating that was all she wrote
CHORUS: D7
Call up Trudy on the telephone
Send a letter in the mailA7
Tell her I'm hung up in DE7allas
And they won't let me outta this A7jail
And if she asks you how I'm D7fairing
Tell her I'm just about to lose my A7mind
Worried about old Johnny Lee E7Walker
A7 A↓ Blues Scale
And the girl I left behind
VERSE: (Bass) D7
I just got to town last Friday evening
Sure as hell didn't mean to A7stay
I was on my way back to LouisiE7ana
Had a powerful thirst and six months A7pay
(+Guitar) D7
I met a peroxide blonde in a bar on D-ville
I was flying high and feeling meA7an
Poured down a bottle and a half of E7red eye
I dropped 35 dollars in the slot maA7chine
(+Piano) D7
And the boys in the back was dealing seven card
I set down and won me a hundred and A7ten
I was raking in chips like Grant took E7Richmond
Till big Johnny Lee come a strolling A7in
He ripped off the table like a 70D77
Pretty soon he done won all of myA7 bread
I accused him of cheating he reached for a E7pistol
I grabbed a chair and went upside of his A7head
Then I took off a running like a motorD7cycle
Heard the bullets whining and sirens A7wail
But it took half the cops in Dallas CE7ounty
A7 A↓ Blues Scale
Just to put one coon ass boy in jail
CHORUS: D7
Call up Trudy on the telephone
Send a letter in the mailA7
Tell her I'm hung up in DE7allas
And they won't let me outta this A7jail
And if she asks you how I'm D7fairing
Tell her I'm just about to lose my A7mind
Worried about old Johnny Lee E7Walker
And the girl I left beA7hind (Repeat final chorus and then fade out)
