Late the next morning I grabbed my gun

Taking the highroads taking the kill 
Goin' watchin the sheriff from Circle Hill 
Tilley lil lady my name is nice Jack Brown

When I was arrested I was pressed at blank 
They needed a freight train to hold me back 
I got no friend who are gonna pay my bail 
I became a dried up carcas in the county jail 

The next morning bout half past nine 
I saw a sheriff walking down the line 
The sheriff said as he cleared his throat

The nest morning my trial began 
Where I was judged by twelve honest men 
The ___?___ of jury started walking out 
________???________ to look about 

In bout five minutes in walks a man 
holding the verdict in his right hand

I tried so lord plase have mercy on me 

ninety nine years in the Sam Clint Ben

I wont forget the day I shot that bad bitch down 

Comon you haglers listen up to me 
Say I took this letter and a bag of cocaine
