Johnny Cash - Cocaine Blues Lyrics:

Lyrics to Cocaine Blues by Johnny Cash:

Correct These 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 run too slow
they overtook me down in Juarez, Mexico

Laid in the hot joints takin' the pill
in walked a sheriff from Jericho Hill
he said "Willy Lee, your name is not Jack Brown
you're the dirty hack that shot your woman down!"

Oh yes, oh yes my name is Willy Lee
if you've got a warrent just-a-read it to me
I 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
I had no friend for to go my bail
they slapped my dried-up carcass in the county jail

Early next morning 'bout a half past nine
I spotted a sheriff comin' down the line
but then he coughed as he cleared his throat
He said, "Come on you dirty hack into the district court!"

Into the court room my trial began
where I was held by twelve honest men
before the 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 Folsom Pen."
Ninety nine years underneath that ground
I can't forget the day I shot that bad bitch down

Come on you gotta listen up to me,
Lay off that whiskey and let that cocaine be!
