Cocaine Blues by Johnny Cash


Early one mornin' while makin' the rounds

I took a shot of cocaine 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 cocaine and away I run

Made a good run but I ran too slow

They overtook me down in Juarez Mexico

 

Late in the hot joints takin' the pills

In walked the sheriff from Jericho Hill

He said Willy Lee your name is not Jack Brown

You're the dirty heck that shot your woman down

 

Said yes oh yes my name is Willy Lee

If you've got the warrant just a-read it to me

Shot her down because she made me sore

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 friend for to go my bail

They slapped my dried up carcass in that county jail

 

Early next mornin' bout a half past nine

I spied the sheriff coming down the line

Ah and he coughed as he cleared his throat

He said come on you dirty heck into that district court

 

Into the courtroom my trial began

Where I was handled by twelve honest men

Just before the jury started out

I saw the little judge commence to look about

 

In about five minutes in walked the man

Holding the verdict in his right hand

The verdict read murder in the first degree

I hollered Lawdy Lawdy have a mercy on me

 

The judge he smiled as he picked up his pen

99 years in the Folsom pen

99 years underneath that ground

I can't forget the day I shot that bad bitch down

 

Come on you've gotta listen unto me

Lay off that whiskey and let that cocaine be
