Cocaine Blues (Live: January, 14, 1968) - Live
Kokain-Blues (Live: 14. Januar 1968) - Live
Early one mornin' while makin' the rounds
Früh an einem Morgen, als ich meine Runde machte
Took a shot of cocaine and I shot my woman down
Nahm einen Schuss Kokain und erschoss meine Frau
Went right home and I went to bed
Ging direkt nach Hause und ging ins Bett
I stuck that lovin' .44 beneath my head
Ich steckte die geliebte .44er unter meinen Kopf
Got up next mornin' and I grabbed that gun
Stand am nächsten Morgen auf und schnappte mir die Waffe
Took a shot of cocaine and away I run
Nahm einen Schuss Kokain und rannte davon
Made a good run but I ran too slow
Rannte gut, aber ich rannte zu langsam
They overtook me down in Juarez, Mexico
Sie holten mich unten in Juarez, Mexiko, ein
Late in the hot joints takin' the pills
Spät in den heißen Kneipen, nahm die Pillen
In walked the sheriff from Jericho Hill
Da kam der Sheriff von Jericho Hill herein
He said Willy Lee your name is not Jack Brown
Er sagte, Willy Lee, dein Name ist nicht Jack Brown
You're the dirty heck that shot your woman down
Du bist der dreckige Kerl, der seine Frau erschossen hat
Said yes, oh yes my name is Willy Lee
Sagte ja, oh ja, mein Name ist Willy Lee
If you've got the warrant just a-read it to me
Wenn Sie den Haftbefehl haben, lesen Sie ihn mir einfach vor
Shot her down because she made me sore
Erschoss sie, weil sie mich wütend gemacht hat
I thought I was her daddy but she had five more
Ich dachte, ich wäre ihr Macker, aber sie hatte fünf weitere
When I was arrested I was dressed in black
Als ich verhaftet wurde, war ich schwarz gekleidet
They put me on a train and they took me back
Sie setzten mich in einen Zug und brachten mich zurück
Had no friend for to go my bail
Hatte keinen Freund, der meine Kaution stellte
They slapped my dried up carcass in that county jail
Sie warfen meinen ausgedörrten Kadaver in das Bezirksgefängnis
Got up next mornin' bout a half past nine
Stand am nächsten Morgen gegen halb zehn auf
I spied the sheriff coming down the line
Ich erspähte den Sheriff, der die Reihe entlangkam
Ah, and he coughed as he cleared his throat
Ah, und er hustete, als er sich räusperte
Come on you dirty heck into that district court
Komm schon, du dreckiger Kerl, ins Bezirksgericht
Into the courtroom my trial began
Im Gerichtssaal begann mein Prozess
Where I was handled by twelve honest men
Wo ich von zwölf ehrlichen Männern behandelt wurde
Just before the jury started out
Kurz bevor die Jury sich zurückzog
I saw the little judge commence to look about
Sah ich den kleinen Richter beginnen, sich umzusehen
In about five minutes in walked the man
Nach etwa fünf Minuten kam der Mann herein
Holding the verdict in his right hand
Hielt das Urteil in seiner rechten Hand
The verdict read in the first degree
Das Urteil lautete auf Mord ersten Grades
I hollered Lawdy Lawdy, have a mercy on me
Ich schrie Herrgott, Herrgott, hab Erbarmen mit mir
The judge he smiled as he picked up his pen
Der Richter lächelte, als er seinen Stift aufhob
99 years in the Folsom pen
99 Jahre im Folsom-Knast
99 years underneath that ground
99 Jahre unter dieser Erde
I can't forget the day I shot that bad bitch down
Ich kann den Tag nicht vergessen, an dem ich das böse Weib erschoss
Come on you've gotta listen unto me
Kommt schon, ihr müsst mir zuhören
Lay off that whiskey and let that cocaine be
Lasst den Whiskey sein und lasst das Kokain bleiben
