Early one morning while making the

Took a transfusion and I shot my 
woman down
E
Went right home and I went to bed
  A                      E        
I stuck that loving 44 beneath my 
A
head

that gun

Took a transfusion and away I run
E
Made a good run, but I run too slow
     A                          
They overtook me down in Juarez, 
      E
Mexico

Laid in the hot joint, taking the 
pill
                           E
In walked the sheriff from Jericho

your woman down"

A
Said, "Yes, oh yes, my name is Willy
 Lee
                              E
If you've got a warrant, just read 
it to me"
E
Shot her down because she made me 
slow
  A

E
had five more

[Verse 5]
A
When I was arrested, I was dressed 
in black
                           E
Put me on a train and they took me 
back

Had no friends for to go my bail
     A                             
They slapped my dried-up carcass in
      E
 that county jail

[Verse 6]

Into the courtroom, my trial began
                       E
Where I was handled by twelve honest
 men
E
Just before the jury started out
  A                                
I saw that little judge commenced 
       A/C
to look about

[Verse 7]
A
In about five minutes, in walked the
 man
                       E
Holding the verdict in his right 
hand
E
Verdict read "in the first degree"
  A                               
I hollered, "Lordy, Lordy, have a 
E
mercy on me"

The judge he smiled as he picked up 
his been
                         E7
Ninety-nine years in the San Quentin
 pen
E
Ninety-nine years underneath that 
ground
  A                              
I can't forget the day I shot my 
A/D
woman down

transfusion be
