Letra de Cocaine Blues (Live at Folsom State Prison, Folsom, CA - January 1968)
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 headGot 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, MexicoLate 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 hack that shot your woman downSaid, "Yes, oh yes my name is Willy Lee If you've got a warrant just a-read it to me 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 Had no friend for to go my bail They slapped my dried up carcass in that county jailEarly next mornin' bout a half past nine I spied a sheriff coming down the line Hawked and he coughed as he cleared his throat He said, "Come on you dirty hack 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 that little judge commence to look aboutIn about five minutes in walked the man Holding the verdict in his right hand The verdict read in the first degree I hollered, "Lawdy Lawdy, have 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 downCome all you gotta listen unto me Lay off that whiskey and let that cocaine be
