Whiskey Blues by Slim Dusty
Early one morning as I was making my rounds,
I got drunk on whisky and I shot my woman down,
shot her down and then went back to bed,
and I hid that lovin' 44. beneath my bed.
Got up next mornin', had a good snort of rum.
washed it down with a whisky and away I run,
I run so fast but I run too slow,
they overtook me way down south in Bendigo.
Standing in a bar-room a-drinkin' my fill,
when in walked two mounties from broken hill.
they said, 'Willie Lee', your name is not 'Slim Brown, '
why you're the dirty dog that shot your woman down.
Yessir oh yessir, my name is Willie Lee,
and if you've got a warrant, you can read it to me,
I shot her dead because she made me sore,
she said I was her daddy but she had five more.
