Took a shot of cocaine and away I run
I stuck that lovin' 44 beneath my head
I thought I was her daddy but she had five more"
Holding the verdict in his right hand
In about five minutes in walked a man
If you've got a warrant just read it to me
The verdict read in the first degree
The judge he smiled as he picked up his pen
Got up next mornin' and I grabbed that gun
99 years in the Folsom pen
Shot her down because she made me slow
You're the dirty hack that shot your woman down"
Said, "Yes, oh yes, my name is Willy Lee
I hollered, "Lordy, Lordy have mercy on me"
I can't forget the day I shot that bad bitch down
Come on you gotta' listen to unto me
99 years underneath that ground
They overtook me down in Juarez, Mexico
I went right home and I went to bed
In walked the sheriff from Jericho Hill
Made a good run but I run too slow
Late in the hot joints takin' the pill
He said, "Willy Lee your name is not Jack Brown
