Into the courtroom my trial began
C                      G
Where I was handled by twelve honest
 men

Just before the jury started out
  C
I saw the little judge commence to 
look about

C
In about five minutes in walked the 
man
C                      G
Holding the verdict in his right 
hand
G
The verdict read murder in the first
 degree
  C
I hollered Lordy Lordy, have a mercy
 on me

C
The judge he smiled as he picked up 
his pen

I can't forget the day I shot that 
bad bitch down
