"Cocaine Blues" Early one mornin' while makin' the rounds I took a shot of cocaine and I shot my woman down I went right home and I went to bed I stuck that lovin' .44 beneath my head Got up next mornin' and I grabbed that gun Took a shot of cocaine and away I run Made a good run but I run too slow They overtook me down in Juarez, Mexico Late in the hot joints takin' the pills In walked the sheriff from Jericho Hill He said Willy Lee your name is not Jack Brown You're the dirty heck that shot your woman down Said yes, oh yes my name is Willy Lee If you've got a warrant just a-read it to me Shot her down because she made me slow I thought I was her daddy but she had five more When I was arrested I was dressed in black They put me on a train and they took me back Had no friend for to go my bail They slapped my dried up carcass in that county jail Early next mornin' bout a half past nine I spied the sheriff coming down the line Up then he coughed as he cleared his throat He said, "Come on you dirty heck into that district court" Into the courtroom my trial began Where I was handled by twelve honest men Just before the jury started out I saw that little judge commence to look about In about five minutes in walked the man Holding the verdict in his right hand The verdict read in the first degree I hollered, "Lawdy Lawdy, have mercy on me" The judge he smiled as he picked up his pen 99 years in the Folsom pen 99 years underneath that ground I can't forget the day I shot that bad bitch down Come on you've gotta listen unto me Lay off that whiskey and let that cocaine be
johnny man you were so ahead of your time !! your one american badass !! he's the kid-rock of the 50's, 60's, 70's... shit ,you still rock today !!! RIP old friend..
@NickB1967 Right. I mean I know basically everything there is to know about Johnny and that album, what I meant was I didn't know that he sang it more than once when he was there.
@Zeratul723 It's on the 2-disc, 1-dvd special edition that was released a few years ago. Legacy edition, wasn't it. I got it, and it's superb, the second show is also very interesting, although his voice is kinda worn and tired.

bye bye
I could not have said it better. Good one.
The love of cocaine and shooting bad bitches down
"Cocaine Blues"
Early one mornin' while makin' the rounds
I took a shot of cocaine and I shot my woman down
I went right home and I went to bed
I stuck that lovin' .44 beneath my head
Got up next mornin' and I grabbed that gun
Took a shot of cocaine and away I run
Made a good run but I run too slow
They overtook me down in Juarez, Mexico
Late in the hot joints takin' the pills
In walked the sheriff from Jericho Hill
He said Willy Lee your name is not Jack Brown
You're the dirty heck that shot your woman down
Said yes, oh yes my name is Willy Lee
If you've got a warrant just a-read it to me
Shot her down because she made me slow
I thought I was her daddy but she had five more
When I was arrested I was dressed in black
They put me on a train and they took me back
Had no friend for to go my bail
They slapped my dried up carcass in that county jail
Early next mornin' bout a half past nine
I spied the sheriff coming down the line
Up then he coughed as he cleared his throat
He said, "Come on you dirty heck into that district court"
Into the courtroom my trial began
Where I was handled by twelve honest men
Just before the jury started out
I saw that little judge commence to look about
In about five minutes in walked the man
Holding the verdict in his right hand
The verdict read in the first degree
I hollered, "Lawdy Lawdy, have mercy on me"
The judge he smiled as he picked up his pen
99 years in the Folsom pen
99 years underneath that ground
I can't forget the day I shot that bad bitch down
Come on you've gotta listen unto me
Lay off that whiskey and let that cocaine be
johnny man you were so ahead of your time !! your one american badass !! he's the kid-rock of the 50's, 60's, 70's... shit ,you still rock today !!! RIP old friend..

@Zeratul723: This was an actual live album, "Johnny Cash At Folsom Prison"
@NickB1967
Right. I mean I know basically everything there is to know about Johnny and that album, what I meant was I didn't know that he sang it more than once when he was there.
@Zeratul723 It's on the 2-disc, 1-dvd special edition that was released a few years ago. Legacy edition, wasn't it. I got it, and it's superb, the second show is also very interesting, although his voice is kinda worn and tired.
bad ass man in black
Wait a minute, I didn't know he sang it again at Folsom, presumably right after the first one... How did you get this recording? Where is it from?
A bit late to comment I know, but I’d say it could be from a bootleg record.
Requiem In Pace John!!!!!!
Lawdy Lawdy have mercy on me
got me good BOO BROWN
That's what I always do after a shot of cocaine and a murder: Go right home and go to bed...
@tallboySR legend i think that suits it
47 people were overtaken in Juarez Mexico
The Man In Black....what more is there to say?
Actually recorded in a prison. Trying pulling this off today.
