[D]It[G]

[Verse 1]
was late last night,
I made my round, I met my woman and I blowed her down.
I went on [C]home and I went to bed. I
laid my [D]pistol [A]up [D]under [G]my head.
Early [C]next morning [G]by the rising sun,
I [C]woke up and I [G]started to run.
[C]I made a run, but I run too slow.
[G]A man[D] ove[A]rtook me down in
[D]Jericho.[G]
I was standing on the corner
reading my daddy's will
[C]Long come a man, called him
Bad
Texas
[G]Bill
He said,
Captain, is your name
Lee
[C]Brown?
I believe it's [D]you the rascal
blowed your woman [G]down
I said, yes, sir,
Captain, my name is
Lee
And if you've [C]got any blues,
boy, sing them
[G]to me.
Well, [C]I guess,
Lee, that you know the be[G]st,
you'd better [D]come go with me, the judge
will tell you the [G]rest.[D][G]
When I was arrested,
I was dressed in black.
Put [C]me on a train
and they brung me back[G].
The [C]jury found me guilty in the first
degree and [D]they laid me
down in the peniten[G]tiary.[D][G]
Yes, the judge found me guilty,
and the jury, too.
[C]Cried,
Lord in heaven, have some mercy on [G]me.
I'll be here for the rest of my [C]life.
[D]All [A]I've [D]done [A]was [D]kill my [G]wife.[D]
