Williams III, Hank - Cocaine Blues Lyrics
Early one mornin' while making the rounds
I took a shot of cocaine and I shot my woman down
Went right home and I went to bed
I stuck that lovin' .44 beneath my head
I 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
I laid in the hot joint, takin' the pill
In walked the Sheriff from Jericho Hill
He said, “Willie Lee, your name is not Jack Brown
You're the dirty hack that shot your woman down”
Yes, oh yes, my name is Willie Lee
I shot her down 'cause 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
I had no friend for to go my bail
They slapped my doddered carcass in that county jail
The next morning 'bout a half past nine
I spied a Sheriff comin' down the line
He kind of coughed as he cleared his throat
He said, “Come on you dirty hack, to the district court”
I entered the courtroom and my trial began
Where I was held by twelve honest men
Just before the jury started out
I saw that dirty judge commence to look about
In about five minutes, in walked a man
Holding the verdict in his right hand
The verdict read “In the first degree"
I hollered, "Lordy, Lordy, have mercy on me”
The judge smiled as he picked up his pen
“Ninety-nine years in the Folsom State Pen”
Ninety-nine years underneath that ground
I can't forget the day I shot that bad bitch down
Come on you've gotta listen up to me
“Lay off that whiskey and let that cocaine be”

Williams III, Hank Cocaine Blues Comments
You gotta 😍
But I like all 3 generations
I like the third better than Jr.
This man is amazing I love him💕💋❤
Well hell yeah ....I am loving this .....love the sound of 3rd, he has the most amazing sounds of his grandfather....class act, and this cover is amazing
george thorogood did a good cover too
Hank 3 needs a blessing in music
It's like hearing HW Sr covering it lol greatness
Love it man!
Who is the tele player on this .... that boy can rip em up!
Anybody ever hear?d his metal band?
Hank the thirde granddaddy's boots there. He always had them on when I saw him perform. Too big, duct taped and everything. Loved this.
Filling those boots well, duct tape and all., when I was a kid I saw him first with super joint ritual, thought his name was a joke, only to find out he is the blood of royalty lol
What a shame
I like this version is good but not as believable as Johnny’s version
I think Johnny's got the best version... This is Johnny's song!
This is the kinda song that plays during a bar brawl
Listen to " going straight to hell" by hank Williams iii
I just took the shot of cocaine of the day
no way does hank jnr or hank 111 sound anywhere close to hank williams they like his wife audrey just hung on his coat tails crap on stage ive seen em
old fart your right never seen em live but I find it funny how Jrs name is Randall and 3 name is Shelton yet they go by hank not gonna lie I like Jr don’t care much for 3 at all though
I hear alot of talk about the jc cover. The original by Roy hogshed is the best you fuckers!
Where is he?
Cash loved this version! me too!
That's metal mutherffucker!
RISING OUTLAW
I love this song sung by both Hank 3 and Johnny Cash
Bet hes daddy gave dem ol boots
He sounds so much like his papaw it ain't funny
Tradition! Love it
Finally more real country! Chris Stapleton and Hank III are the new outlaws. Thank god! Hopefully this will put paid to the Luke Bryants in the industry and the new hick hop shit coming out of Nashville. Dale Watson said it best when he wrote and recorded :Nashville Rash." He sounds like his grandfather and he's better, IMO, than his dad.
He did this almost as good as Johnny Cash
rails and hank3
get off daddy's high, you suck bro.
To bad i missed
if he slowed down and sang more sad songs. he would be the old hank
SGNARLY you must not have listened to very many of his songs
Must not have seen him on the Grand ole opry
I like cash better but he’s good too
Not johnny but great to hear it the first rap song this was rap and not just rap the first gangster rap of all time
got to give respect to hank 3 talent all in that family
Eddie Brooks love hank iii got all the women mad at me cuz I play all his stuff especially my ex sent her my drinking problem left today
I like it so much 😍😍😘😇😍😍😍😇😇👼😎😇
me too!
SUEY!!!!
This is better than the original..
BLASPHEMY!!!
never gonna be as good as cash
The original is by Roy hogshed and is by far the best.
You're dumb
it's amazing how much he sounds like his grandfather
Clayton Bramon I agree!!! Even has the same stance, and dance...
he looks like his grand daddy
Looks and sounds like Hank Sr and style is a combination of Hank Sr and Bocephus.
He looks like him to
44 people are pussies
Yep, I agree!! To scared to like, ha
perhaps they are deaf lol
Pussies -N- city slickers.
so cool!
Long live Hank!
blackhawk your right
i love this.
this is how you do it.
Hank, you're as legendary as your father and grandfather. you're a reincarnation of the original Hank. just more open and honest. love your music, keep jammin'!
"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
You have not lived till you hear Johnny Cash's version
Lol no shit
Or Joaquin's version ;)
@Shmuel P Cash's version was the original you stupid fuck lmao what even are you trying to talk about
PallasAthe ЦК you mean roy hogsed
PallasAthe ЦК yeah Roy hogsed recorded it in 47 where as Johnny cash recorded it in 68 that’s a 21 year difference
NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Listen this terrible its about him doin' coacain and shooting his wife and killing her listen he's hank Williams jr son correct I can just imagine how disappointed and mad and angery hank must be Hank JR if you watching or reading this I feel bad for you because your son does not have the talent you and your dad had I mean your dad was amazing and so were you. Also hank the third if your reading this I just want to say I can't belive yu wrote something or even thought it would be good I mean good lord son use your dagum brain here that's all I have to say
duckfart92000 Payne l personally i think he is dame good,,all 3hanks have my thumb's up!
if you dont like it go listen to something else
It's called story telling bud. They're not all going to be to your moral standards or life experiences.
And the dumbest comment award goes to....
