Lyrics for Cocaine Blues by JOHNNY CASH:
| | | Artist: | JOHNNY CASH |
| | Album: | Unknown | | Track: | Cocaine Blues | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 76 | | | | Lyrics: | 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 | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
