Bad Lee Brown - Woody Guthrie (伍迪·格思里)
It was late last night
I made my rounds
I met my woman and
I blowed her down
I went on home and
I went to bed
I laid my pistol up
Under my head
Early next morning
By the rising sun
I woke up and a
Started to run
I made a run but
I run too slow
A man overtook me
Down in Jericho
I was standing on the corner
Reading my daddy's will
Long came a man
They call him Bad Texas Bill
He said Uhh Captain
Is your name Lee Brown
I believe that you
The rascal blowed yer woman down
I said Yes sir Captain
My name is Lee
And if you got any
Blues boy sing 'em to me
'Well I guess Lee
That you know the best
You better come go with me
The judge will tell you the rest'
When I was arrested
I was dressed in black
Put me on a train and
They brung me back
Jury found me guilty
In the first degree
And they laid me down
In the penitentiary
Yes the judge found me guilty and
The jury too
I cried 'Lord in Heaven
Have some mercy on me'
I'll be here for the rest of my life
All I done was kill my wife
