Cocaine Blues Johnny Cash
[C]EARLY ONE MORNIN' WHILE MAKIN' THE ROUNDS
I TOOK A SHOT OF COCAINE AND [G]SHOT MY WOMAN DOWN
I WENT RIGHT HOME AND I WENT TO BED
I [C]STUCK THAT LOVIN' 44 BENEATH MY HEAD
[C]GOT UP NEXT MORNIN' AND I GRABBED THAT GUN
TOOK A SHOT OF COCAINE AND [G]AWAY I RUN
MADE A GOOD RUN BUT I RUN TOO SLOW
THEY [C]OVERTOOK ME DOWN IN WARREN MEXICO
[C]LAID IN THE HOT JOINT TAKIN' THE PILL
IN WALKED A SHERIFF FROM [G]JERACO HILL
HE SAID WILLY LEE YOUR NAME IS NOT JACK BROWN
[C]YOU'RE THE DIRTY HOP HEAD THAT SHOT YOUR WOMAN DOWN
[C]OH YES OH YES MY NAME IS WILLIE LEE
IF YOU'VE GOT A WARRANT JUST A [G]READ IT TO ME
I SHOT HER DOWN CAUSE SHE MADE ME SLOW
I [C]THOUGHT I WAS HER DADDY BUT SHE HAD FIVE MORE
[C]WHEN I WAS ARRESTED I WAS DRESSED IN BLACK
THEY PUT ME ON A TRAIN AND THEY [G]TOOK ME BACK
I HAD NO FRIEND FOR TO GO MY BAIL
THEY [C]SLAPPED MY DRIED UP CARCUS IN THE COUNTY JAIL
[C]EARLY THE NEXT MORNING ABOUT A HALF PAST NINE
I SPIED A SHERIFF WALKIN' [G]DOWN THE LINE
AND THEN COUGHED AS HE CLEARED HIS THROAT
HE SAID COME [C]ON YOU DIRTY HACK INTO THE DISTRICT COURT
[C]INTO THE COURT ROOM MY TRIAL BEGAN
WHERE I WAS HELD BY [G]TWELVE HONEST MEN
JUST BEFORE THE JURY STARTED OUT
I [C]SAW THAT LITTLE JUDGE COMMENCE TO LOOK ABOUT
[C]IN A BOUT FIVE MINUTES IN WALKED A MAN
HOLDING THE VERDICT IN [G]HIS RIGHT HAND
THE VERDICT READ IN THE FIRST DEGREE
I [C]HOLLERED LORDY LORDY HAVE MERCY ON ME
[C]THE JUDGE HE SMILED AS HE PICKED UP HIS PEN
NINETY NINE YEARS IN THE [G]FOLSOM PEN
NINETY NINE YEARS UNDERNEATH THAT GROUND
I [C]CAN'T FORGET THE DAY I SHOT THAT BAD BITCH DOWN
[C]COME ON YOU GOTTA LISTEN [F]UNTO ME
JUST[G]LAY OFF THAT WHISKEY AND LET THAT COCAINE [C]BE
