Lyrics
Have some mercy on me, i was dressed in black Cocaine, i went on home and i went to bed
The judge ll tell you the rest., have some mercy on me Cocaine, the judge ll tell you the rest.
he said captain
I woke up and i started to run, they put me on a train and they brung me back
Have some mercy on me, have some mercy on me, jury found me guilty in the first degree
I made a run, they put me on a train and they brung me back
They put me on a train and they brung me back, a man overtook me down in jericho Guthrie, along come a man
a man overtook me down in jericho
I met my woman and i blowed her down, jury found me guilty in the first degree Cocaine, jury found me guilty in the first degree
I ll be here for the rest of my life, that you know the best
He said captain, i believe that you re the rascal blowed your woman down.
Have some mercy on me, is your name lee brown, they called him bad texas bill
He said captain, i was dressed in black, i believe that you re the rascal blowed your woman down.
I was standing on the corner reading my daddy s will, have some mercy on me
you d better come go with me
when i was arrested
And if you ve got any blues, that you know the best
i was dressed in black
That you know the best, i believe that you re the rascal blowed your woman down., but i run too slow
is your name lee brown
you d better come go with me
have some mercy on me
And they laid me down in the penitentiary, you d better come go with me
i was standing on the corner reading my daddy s will
You d better come go with me, i woke up and i started to run
have some mercy on me
Lord in heaven, have some mercy on me, i was dressed in black
But i run too slow, the judge found me guilty and the jury too, sing em to me.
All i done was kill my wife, all i done was kill my wife, early next morning by the rising sun
But i run too slow, i was standing on the corner reading my daddy s will, i was dressed in black
All i done was kill my wife, i laid my pistol up under my head
have some mercy on me
I met my woman and i blowed her down, and if you ve got any blues
Jury found me guilty in the first degree, the judge ll tell you the rest.
He said captain, my name is lee
I met my woman and i blowed her down, i ll be here for the rest of my life
Sing em to me., i laid my pistol up under my head
He said captain, jury found me guilty in the first degree, and they laid me down in the penitentiary
they called him bad texas bill
along come a man
I laid my pistol up under my head, lord in heaven Guthrie, when i was arrested
I was dressed in black, lord in heaven

I went on home and i went to bed, that you know the best
The judge found me guilty and the jury too, that you know the best, the judge ll tell you the rest.

A man overtook me down in jericho, i was standing on the corner reading my daddy s will
My name is lee, a man overtook me down in jericho
they called him bad texas bill
i was standing on the corner reading my daddy s will
