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

Got up next morning and I grabbed my gun
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
If you've got a warrant just read it to me
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”

    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

  13. m.... s....

    What a shame

  14. C.... S....

    I like this version is good but not as believable as Johnny’s version

  15. R.... J....

    I think Johnny's got the best version... This is Johnny's song!

  16. E.... F....

    This is the kinda song that plays during a bar brawl

    E.... F....

    Listen to " going straight to hell" by hank Williams iii

  17. d.... P....

    I just took the shot of cocaine of the day

  18. o.... f....

    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

    o.... f....

    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

  28. E.... L....

    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.

  29. D.... W....

    He did this almost as good as Johnny Cash

  30. c.... ....

    rails and hank3

  31. A.... A....

    C.... B....

    Looks and sounds like Hank Sr and style is a combination of Hank Sr and Bocephus.

    C.... B....

    "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

  48. S.... P....
