You know, standing back there in your shop' catching my breath. . .
. ..l come to admire you even more.
You see' I never had to do hard time like you.
Although I have, on occasion got myself busted.
Once in El Paso I had this bag of-- Oh' you heard about that?
You been in El Paso too?
Well' anyways I felt tough, you know?
Like I'd seen a thing or two, you know?
Well' that was till a moment ago.
Because I gotta tell you, my hat's off to you now.
Because I ain't never had to drink this yellow water you got here at Folsom.
This song is for your warden.
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' forty-four 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 Juárez, Mexico
Late in the hot joint takin' the pills
In walked the sheriff from Jericho Hill
He said, "Willy Lee , your name is not Jack Brown"
"Υou're the dirty hack that Shot your woman down"
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 the county jail
The judge, he smiled As he picked up his pen
Ninety-nine years in the Folsom pen
