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." (play intro licks on break) 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. (intro licks again) Yes the judge found me guilty an’ the jury too. I cried "Lord in Heaven have some mercy on me!" I’ll be here fer the rest of my life All I done was kill my wife.
