Lyrics Cocaine Blues - Hank Thompson
Early
one
morning
While
makin′
the
rounds
I
took
a
shot
of
cocaine
And
I
shot
my
baby
down
I
shot
her
down
then
I
went
to
bed
I
stuck
that
lovin'
Forty-four
beneath
my
head
Woke
up
next
morning
and
I
grabbed
that
gun
I
took
a
shot
of
cocaine
and
away
I
run
Made
a
good
run
but
I
run
too
slow
The
overtook
me
down
in
Juarez
Mexico
In
the
hot
joint
takin′
the
pill
There
walked
the
sheriff
from
Jericho
Hill
Willy
Lee
your
name
is
not
Jack
Brown
You're
the
dirty
hack
That
shot
your
woman
down
Yes
so
my
name's
is
Billy
Lee
If
you′ve
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
threw
me
on
a
freight
train
And
hauled
me
back
Had
no
friend
who'd
go
my
bail
They
stuck
my
dried-up
carcass
In
the
county
jail
Early
next
morning
′round
half
past
nine
I
saw
the
sheriff
comin'
down
the
line
That
sheriff
yelled
as
he
cleared
his
throat
Said
come
on
you
dirty
hackin′
To
the
district
court
Into
the
courtroom
my
trial
began
Where
I
was
judged
by
twelve
honest
men
Yes
as
the
jury
started
walkin'
out
I
saw
that
little
judge
Commence
to
look
about
In
about
five
minutes
then
walked
a
man
Holding
the
verdict
in
his
right
hand
The
verdict
read
in
the
first
degree
I
shouted
Lordy
Lordy
Please
have
mercy
on
me
The
judge
he
smiled
when
he
picked
up
his
pen
Ninety-nine
years
in
the
San
Quentin
Penn
Ninety-nine
years
underneath
that
ground
But
I
can′t
forget
that
day
I
shot
that
bad
bitch
down
Come
on
you
hotheads
you
listen
to
me
Stay
off
that
whiskey
and
let
that
cocaine
be
