[A]It was late last night I made my rounds;
I [D]met my woman and I blowed her [A]down.
I went [D]on home and I went to [A]bed.
I [E]laid my pistol up under my h[A]ead.
[A]Early next morning, by the rising sun,
I [D]woke up and a started to [A]run.
I [D]made a run but I run too [A]slow;
A m[E]an overtook me down in Jeric[A]ho.
[A]I was standing on the corner reading my daddy's will
[D]'Long came a man they call him Bad Texas [A]Bill.
He s[D]aid, "Uhh, Captain, is your name Lee Br[A]own?
I [E]believe that you the rascal blowed yer woman d[A]own."
[A]I said, "Yes sir, Captain, my name is Lee.
And if you g[D]ot any blues, boy sing 'em to [A]me."
"Well [D]I guess Lee, that you know the b[A]est
You better [E]come with me the judge will tell you the r[A]est."
(play intro licks on break)

[A]When I was arrested, I was dressed in black.
[D]Put me on a train and they brung me b[A]ack.
Ju[D]ry found me guilty in the first degr[A]ee
And t[E]hey laid me down in the penitentiar[A]y.

(intro licks again)

[A]Yes the judge found me guilty an' the jury too.
I c[D]ried "Lord in Heaven, have some mercy on[A] me!"
I'll [D]be here fer the rest of my l[A]ife,
[E]All I done was kill my w[A]ife.
