A
It was late last night I made my rounds;
D A
I met my woman and I blowed her down.
D A
I went on home and I went to bed.
E A
I laid my pistol up under my head.
A
Early next morning, by the rising sun,
D A
I woke up and a started to run.
D A
I made a run but I run too slow;
E A
A man overtook me down in Jericho.
A
I was standing on the corner reading my daddy's will
D A
'Long came a man they call him Bad Texas Bill.
D A
He said, "Uhh, Captain, is your name Lee Brown?
E A
I believe that you the rascal blowed yer woman down."
A
I said, "Yes sir, Captain, my name is Lee.
D A
And if you got any blues, boy sing 'em to me."
D A
"Well I guess Lee, that you know the best
E A
You better come with me the judge will tell you the rest."
(play intro licks on break)
A
When I was arrested, I was dressed in black.
D A
Put me on a train and they brung me back.
D A
Jury found me guilty in the first degree
E A
And they laid me down in the penitentiary.
(intro licks again)
A
Yes the judge found me guilty an' the jury too.
D A
I cried "Lord in Heaven, have some mercy on me!"
D A
I'll be here fer the rest of my life,
E A
All I done was kill my wife.
