Female ver. Early one mornin' while makin' the rounds I took a shot of cocaine and I shot my lover 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 ran 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 Jerry Lee your name is not Jane Brown You're the dirty bitch that shot your lover down
Said yes, oh yes my name is Jerry Lee If you've got the warrant just read it to me Shot him down because he made me sore I thought I was his baby but he 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 Ah, and he coughed as he cleared his throat He said come on you dirty bitch 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 the 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 Lordy, Lordy have a 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 headdick down
Come on you've gotta listen unto me Lay off that whiskey and let that cocaine be
