Here I am judge this morning : and here is my forty?five
I shot my woman on the corner : and I don't know whether 
she's dead or alive
Judge don't ask me no questions : about how our trouble 
began
Just have it printed in your paper : a little trouble 
between women and men
Mmm : oh Lord I heard that old judge say ninety?nine
And it's one thing I wished I had this morning : that's 
that forty?five of mine
I'm going to lay down in jail : like I used to lie down 
in Calumet
May be a good luck to you : because I haven't forgot you 
yet
