C 
Into the courtroom my trial began 
C                      G 
Where I was handled by twelve honest men 
G  
Just before the jury started out  
  C 
I saw the little judge commence to look about 
 
C 
In about five minutes in walked the man 
C                      G 
Holding the verdict in his right hand 
G 
The verdict read murder in the first degree  
  C 
I hollered Lordy Lordy, have a mercy on me

The judge he smiled as he picked up his pen

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