Cocaine Blues Lyrics - Move It On Over - George Thorogood & The Destroyers

Early one morning while makin' the rounds 

I took a shot of cocaine and I shot my baby down 

I shot her down then I went to bed 

I stuck that lovin' forty-four beneath my head 

Woke up next morning and I grabbed that gun 

I took a shot of cocaine and away I run 

Made a good run but I run too slow 

The overtook me down in Juarez Mexico 

In the hot joint takin' the pill 

There walked the sheriff from Jericho Hill 

Willy Lee your name is not Jack Brown 

You're the dirty hack that shot your woman down 

Yes so my name's is Billy Lee 

If you've got a warrant you better read it to me 

I shot her down 'cause she made me sore 

I thought I was her daddy but she had five more 

When I was arrested I was dressed in black 

They threw me on a freight train and hauled me back 

Had no friend who'd go my bail 

They stuck my dried-up carcass in the county jail 

Early next morning 'round half past nine 

I saw the sheriff comin' down the line 

That sheriff yelled as he cleared his throat 

Said come on you dirty hackin' to the district court 

Into the courtroom my trial began 

Where I was judged by twelve honest men 

Yes as the jury started walkin' out 

I saw that little judge commence to look about 

In about five minutes then walked a man 

Holding the verdict in his right hand 

The verdict read in the first degree 

I shouted Lordy Lordy please have mercy on me 

The judge he smiled when he picked up his pen 

Ninety-nine years in the San Quentin Penn 

Ninety-nine years underneath that ground 

But I can't forget that day I shot that bad bitch down 

Come on you hotheads you listen to me 

Stay off that whiskey and let that cocaine be
