Cocaine Blues
Johnny Cash
Key : Db
Capo
[Intro]
---------------------
C#

[Verse 1]
---------------------
Early one morning while making the rounds
                               G#
I took a shot of cocaine and I shot my woman down
I went right home and I went to bed
  C#
I stuck that loving forty four beneath my head

[Verse 2]
---------------------
C#
 Got up next morning and I grabbed that gun
                            G#
Took a shot of cocaine and away I run
Made a good run but I run too slow
     C#
They overtook me down in Juarez, Mexico

[Verse 3]
---------------------
C#
 Late in the hot joints taking the pills
                           G#
In walked the sheriff from Jericho Hill
He said, "Willy Lee, your name is not Jack Brown
      C#
You're the dirty hack that shot your woman down"

[Verse 4]
---------------------
C#
 Said "Yes, oh yes, my name is Willy Lee
                                G#
If you've got the warrant just aread it to me
Shot her down because she made me slow
  C#
I thought I was her daddy but she had five more."

[Verse 5]
---------------------
C#
 When I was arrested I was dressed in black,
                                G#
They put me on a train and they took me back
Had no friend for to go my bail
     C#
They slapped my dried up carcass in that county jail

[Verse 6]
---------------------
C#
 Early next morning about a half past nine
                           G#
I spied the sheriff coming down the line
Talked and he coughed as he cleared his throat
               C#
He said, "Come on you dirty hack into that district court"

[Verse 7]
---------------------
C#
 Into the courtroom, my trial began
                       G#
Where I was handled by twelve honest men
Just before the jury started out
  C#
I saw that little judge commence to look about

[Verse 8]
---------------------
C#
 In about five minutes, in walked the man
                       G#
Holding the verdict in his right hand
The verdict read, in the first degree
  C#
I hollered, "Lawdy, Lawdy, have mercy on me"

[Verse 9]
---------------------
C#
 The judge he smiled as he picked up his pin
                        G#
Ninetynine years in the Folsom Pen
Ninetynine years underneath that ground
  C#
I can't forget the day I shot that bad bitch down

[Outro]
---------------------
C#                             F#
 Come on, you've got to listen unto me
D#                       G#               C#
Lay off that whisky, and let that cocaine be
