soul asylum – cocaine blues lyrics

Loading...

early one morning while making my rounds
i took a shot of cocaine and i shot my baby down
i shot her down and then i went to bed
i stuck that lovin’ forty-four beneath my head

late the next morning i grabbed my gun
i took a shot of cocaine and away i run
i made a good run, but i run too slow
they overtook me down is juarez, mexico

i was in the hot joint takin the pill
in walked the sheriff from jericho hill
he said “w-lly lee, your name is not jack brown.
“you’re the dirty hack that shot your woman down.”

yes, so my name is w-lly lee
if you got a warrant you better read it to me
i shot her down cause she made me sore
i thought i was her daddy, but she had five more

when i was arrested i was dressed in black
they stuck me on a freight train and they hauled me back
i had no friend to throw my bail
so they stuck my dried up carcas in the county jail

the next morning bout half past nine
i saw a sheriff walking down the line
the sheriff said as he cleared his throat
“comon you dirty hack into the district court.”

the next morning my trial began
where i was judged by twelve honest men
and as the jury started walking out
i saw that little judge commence to look about

in bout five minutes in walked a man
holding the verdict in his right hand
the verdict said in the first degree
i cried, oh lord, please have mercy on me

the judge smiled as he picked up his pen
“ninety nine years in the san quentin penn!”
ninety nine years underneath that ground
i wont forget the day i shot that bad b-tch down

comon you hotheads listen up to me
stay off that whiskey and let that cocaine be…
