Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[G]Call up Trudy on the tel[C]ephone
Send a letter in the [G]mail
Tell her I'm hung up in
Dal[D]las
And they won't let me out[G]ta this jail

[Verse 2]
And if she asks you how I'm [C]fairing
Tell her I'm just about
to lose my [G]mind
Worried about old Johnny Lee [D]Walker
And the girl I left behind
[G][Bb]

[Verse 3]
[G]Now Johnny Lee Walker
was a card mech[C]anic
Had a hand for trouble and
a eye [G]for cash
Luckiest man in Dallas [D]County
He had a gold watch chain

[Verse 4]
and a black mustache
[G]And he loved his whiskey and
he loved [C]his women
Drove a big long [G]Cadillac limosine
Kept a big fine fancy
townhouse [D]in Dallas
And a hotel suite [G]in New Orleans

[Verse 5]
Carried a switchblade knife in his left [C]hip
pocket
And a 44 hog leg up under his [G]coat
Cut you down in a New York [D]minute
If he catch you cheating
that was [G]all [Bb]she wrote

[Verse 6]
[G]So call up Trudy on the tel[C]ephone
Send her a letter in the [G]mail
Tell her I'm hung up in
Dal[D]las
And they won't let me out[G]ta this jail

[Verse 7]
If she asks you how I'm [C]fairing
Tell her I'm just about to
lose [G]my mind
Worried about old Johnny Lee [D]Walker
And the girl I left [G]behind

[Verse 8]
[G]
I just got to town last [C]Friday evening
Sure as hell didn't mean [G]to stay
I was on my way back to [C]Louisi[D] ana
Had a powerful thirst and six months [G]pay

[Verse 9]
I met a peroxide blonde in a bar on [C]D-ville
I I was flying high and feeling [G]mean
Poured down a bottle and
a half [D]of red eye

[Verse 10]
I dropped 35 dollars in the slot machine
[G]And the boys in the back was dea[C]ling 7 card
I set down and won me [G]a 110
I was raking in chips like
Grant took [D]Richmond
Till big Johnny Lee come
a strolling [G]in
He ripped off the bar like [C]a

[Verse 11]
707
Pretty soon he done won
all [G]of my bread
I accused him of cheating
he reached for a [D]pistol
I grabbed a chair and went
upside of his [G]head

[Verse 12]
Then I took off a running like [C]a motor
cycle
Heard the bullets whining
and [G]sirens wail
But it took half the cops in Dallas [D]County
Just to put one coon *** boy in [G]jail[C][Bb]

[Verse 13]
[G]So call up Trudy on [C]the telephone
Send her a letter in the [G]mail
Tell her I'm hung up [C]in [D]Dallas
And they won't let me outta this [G]jail

[Verse 14]
And if she asks [C]you how[G][D]
[G][C][G][D]
[G]I'm fai[C]ring
Tell her I'm just about to
lose my [G]mind
Worried about old Johnny Lee [D]Walker

[Outro 1]
And the girl I left behind
[G][C]
