The Loved Ones - Cocaine Blues lyrics

Early one mornin' while makin' the rounds I took a shot of c**aine 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 c**aine 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 carca** 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 b**h down Come on, come on, you've gotta listen to me Lay off that whiskey and let that c**aine be Let that c**aine be
