Lyrics
I saw the sheriff comin down the line, ninety-nine years in the san quentin penn, ninety-nine years underneath that ground
Holding the verdict in his right hand, there walked the sheriff from jericho hill The, woke up next morning and i grabbed that gun
I thought i was her daddy but she had five more, if you ve got a warrant you better read it to me
They stuck my dried-up carcass in the county jail, willy lee your name is not jack brown Destroyers, i stuck that lovin forty-four beneath my head
I took a shot of cocaine and i shot my baby down, i stuck that lovin forty-four beneath my head, i took a shot of cocaine and away i run
You dirty hackin to the district court, if you ve got a warrant you better read it to me
I shot her down cause she made me sore, come on you ve got to listen unto me lay off that whiskey and let that cocaine be
I shot her down then i went to bed, in about five minutes then walked a man
Had no friend who d go my bail, well i shouted lordy, i took a shot of cocaine and away i run
You dirty hackin to the district court, they stuck my dried-up carcass in the county jail, you dirty hackin to the district court
Woke up next morning and i grabbed that gun, where i was judged by twelve honest men, early next morning round half past nine
As the jury started walkin out, i stuck that lovin forty-four beneath my head
Well i shouted lordy, holding the verdict in his right hand Blues, they stuck my dried-up carcass in the county jail
I stuck that lovin forty-four beneath my head, into the courtroom Blues, i stuck that lovin forty-four beneath my head
but i can t forget that day i shot my woman down
when i was arrested i was dressed in black
Ninety-nine years in the san quentin penn, ninety-nine years underneath that ground, you re the dirty hack that shot your woman down
Ninety-nine years underneath that ground, willy lee your name is not jack brown
But i can t forget that day i shot my woman down, come on you ve got to listen unto me lay off that whiskey and let that cocaine be Destroyers, the judge he smiled when he picked up his pen
You dirty hackin to the district court, early one morning while makin the rounds, the overtook me down in juarez
i stuck that lovin forty-four beneath my head
Early one morning while makin the rounds, made a good run but i run too slow Blues, please have mercy on me
I took a shot of cocaine and i shot my baby down, i saw that little judge commence to look about
I shot her down cause she made me sore, early next morning round half past nine, i saw that little judge commence to look about
You dirty hackin to the district court, my trial began
ninety-nine years in the san quentin penn
ninety-nine years underneath that ground
Had no friend who d go my bail, but i can t forget that day i shot my woman down
when i was arrested i was dressed in black
The overtook me down in juarez, ninety-nine years underneath that ground
ninety-nine years underneath that ground
woke up next morning and i grabbed that gun
i thought i was her daddy but she had five more
Holding the verdict in his right hand, i thought i was her daddy but she had five more Blues, but i can t forget that day i shot my woman down
As the jury started walkin out, i took a shot of cocaine and i shot my baby down
My trial began, when i was arrested i was dressed in black
There walked the sheriff from jericho hill, as the jury started walkin out
If you ve got a warrant you better read it to me, they stuck my dried-up carcass in the county jail
So my name s is billy lee, the verdict read in the first degree
Please have mercy on me, early next morning round half past nine Destroyers, ninety-nine years in the san quentin penn
they threw me on a freight train and hauled me back
The overtook me down in juarez, where i was judged by twelve honest men, when i was arrested i was dressed in black
Early next morning round half past nine, had no friend who d go my bail
i saw that little judge commence to look about
I saw that little judge commence to look about, the overtook me down in juarez, holding the verdict in his right hand
Ninety-nine years underneath that ground, i stuck that lovin forty-four beneath my head, my trial began
As the jury started walkin out, you dirty hackin to the district court
My trial began, i thought i was her daddy but she had five more
