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