Transfusion Blues |
| Early one mornin’while makin’the rounds |
| Took a transfusion and I shot my woman down |
| 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 transfusion and away I run |
| Made a good run but I run 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 hack that shot your woman down |
| Said 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 put me on a train and they took me back |
| Had no friends for to go my bail they slapped my dried up carcass in that |
| country jail |
| 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 commenced to look about |
| In about five minutes in walked the man holding the verdict in his right hand |
| Verdict read in the first degree I hollered Lowdy Lowdy have a mercy on me The judge he smiled as he picked up his ben 99 years in the San Quentin pen |
| 99 years underneath that ground I can’t forget the day I shot my woman down |
| Come on you guys and listen unto me lay off that liquor and let that |
| transfusion be |
