I took a shot of cocaine and I shot my woman down
Went right home and I went to bed
I stuck that lovin' 44 beneath my head
De bon matí mentre feia la ronda
Vaig prendre una ratlla de coca i vaig matar d’un tret la meva dona
De seguida me’n vaig anar a casa i al llit
Vaig col·locar l’estimat 44 sota el meu cap.
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
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
Em vaig llevar l'endemà i vaig agafar la pistola
Em vaig prendre una ratlla de coca i vaig sortir pitant
Vaig fer un bon trajecte però massa lent
Em van avançar a Juárez, Mèxic.
Laid in the hot joints takin' the pills
In walked the sheriff from Jericho Hill
He said, "Willy Lee, your name is not Jack Brown
You're the dirty heck that shot your woman down"
In walked the sheriff from Jericho Hill
He said, "Willy Lee, your name is not Jack Brown
You're the dirty heck that shot your woman down"
Mentre era a una cantina, prenent speed
Va entrar el Sheriff de Jericho Hill
Va dir-me, “Willy Lee, no et dius Jack Brown
Ets el penjat que va matar la seva dona”
Said, "Yes, oh yes my name is Willy Lee
If you've got the warrant just a-read it to me
Shot her down because she made me slow
I thought I was her daddy but she had five more"
If you've got the warrant just a-read it to me
Shot her down because she made me slow
I thought I was her daddy but she had five more"
Vaig dir “Sí, però el meu nom és Willy Lee
Si tens l’ordre de captura ja pots llegir-me els meus drets."
La vaig matar perquè em feia apalancar.
Em pensava que podria ser son pare, però ella en tenia 5 més.
When I was arrested I was dressed in black
They put me on a train and they took me back
Had no friends for to go my bail
They slapped my dried up carcass in that county jail
Quan em van arrestar em van vestir de negre
Em van posar a un tren de tornada
No tenia amics per pagar la meva fiança
Em van fotre una pallissa a la presó del comtat.
I spied the sheriff coming down the line
Ah, and he coughed as he cleared his throat
He said, "Come on, you dirty heck, into that district court"
Ah, and he coughed as he cleared his throat
He said, "Come on, you dirty heck, into that district court"
Em vaig llevar l'endemà cap a quarts de deu
Vaig veure de reüll el Sheriff apropant-se
Va tossir mentre s’aclaria la gola
Em va dir “Vinga, penjat, cap al jutjat del districte”.
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
Where I was handled by twelve honest men
Just before the jury started out
I saw the little judge commence to look about
A la sala del jutjat va començar el meu judici
Davant de dotze homes honestos
Abans que comencés el judici
Vaig veure el jutge mirant al voltant.
In about five minutes in walked the man
Holding the verdict in his right hand
The verdict read in the first degree
I hollered, "Lawdy Lawdy, have a mercy on me"
Holding the verdict in his right hand
The verdict read in the first degree
I hollered, "Lawdy Lawdy, have a mercy on me"
En uns cinc minuts va sortir un home
Amb el veredicte a la mà
Mentre el llegia amb vehemència
Vaig cridar “Si us plau! Si us plau! Tingueu pietat!”
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 bad bitch down
99 years in the Folsom pen
99 years underneath that ground
I can't forget the day I shot that bad bitch down
El jutge va somriure mentre agafava el seu bolígraf
99 anys a la presó de Folsom
99 anys a l’ombra
No puc oblidar el dia que vaig matar aquella puta
Come on you've gotta listen unto me
Lay off that whiskey and let that cocaine be
Lay off that whiskey and let that cocaine be
Vinga! M’heu d’escoltar
Oblideu-vos del Whisky i deixeu en pau la coca.
