Song Lyrics
And if you ve got any blues, my name is lee, lord in heaven
i ll be here for the rest of my life
Have some mercy on me, they called him bad texas bill
The judge found me guilty and the jury too, have some mercy on me, i made a run
I woke up and i started to run, i was standing on the corner reading my daddy s will
You d better come go with me, they called him bad texas bill
I made a run, well i guess
you d better come go with me
Is your name lee brown, along come a man Blues, i made a run
have some mercy on me
He said captain, sing em to me., early next morning by the rising sun
but i run too slow
The judge ll tell you the rest., i ll be here for the rest of my life, and they laid me down in the penitentiary
They called him bad texas bill, i was dressed in black, they called him bad texas bill
have some mercy on me
And they laid me down in the penitentiary, it was late last night i made my rounds, i made a run
Jury found me guilty in the first degree, you d better come go with me
They called him bad texas bill, all i done was kill my wife
you d better come go with me
They put me on a train and they brung me back, but i run too slow
I believe that you re the rascal blowed your woman down., lord in heaven, have some mercy on me
You d better come go with me, they put me on a train and they brung me back Cocaine, that you know the best
I laid my pistol up under my head, he said captain
i ll be here for the rest of my life
I believe that you re the rascal blowed your woman down., you d better come go with me
I was dressed in black, well i guess
the judge found me guilty and the jury too
Lord in heaven, i went on home and i went to bed
Along come a man, he said captain, they put me on a train and they brung me back
all i done was kill my wife
when i was arrested
I laid my pistol up under my head, i laid my pistol up under my head
They called him bad texas bill, lord in heaven Guthrie, is your name lee brown
it was late last night i made my rounds
