letra de cocaine blues - roy hogsed & the rainbow riders

Loading...

early one morning while making the rounds
took a shot of cocaine and i shot my woman down
went right home and i went to bed
and stuck that loving .44 beneath my head

got up next morning and i grabbed that gun
took a shot of cocaine and away i ran
made a good run but i ran too slow
they overtook me down in juarez, mexico

layin’ in the hop joint, smokin’ the pill
in walked the sheriff from jericho hill
he said willie lee, your name is not jack brown
you’re the dirty hop that shot your woman down

yes so yes, my name is willie lee
if you got a warrant just read it to me
shot her cold ’cause she made me sore
i thought i was her daddy but she had five more

when i was arrested i was dressed in black
put me on a train and they brought me back
had no friends to go my bail
they slapped my dried up carcass in that county jail

early next morning about a half past nine
i spied a sheriff coming down the line
hopped and he coughed as he cleared his throat
he said, come on you dirty hop into that district court
into the courtroom, my trial began
where i was paneled by twelve honest men
just before that jury started out
i saw that little judge commence to look about

in about five minutes, in walked a man
holding the verdict in his right hand
the verdict read in the first degree
i hollered, lordy lordy, have mercy on me

the judge he smiled as he picked up his pen
ninety-nine years in the saint quintinn pen
ninety-nine years underneath that ground
i ain’t forget that day i shot my woman down

come on you hops and listen unto me
just lay off that whiskey and let that cocaine be
