[Intro]
N.C.
[Chorus]
C7 Call up Trudy on the telephone G7 Send her a letter in the mail D7 Tell her I'm hung up in Dallas G7 And they won't let me outta this jail C7 If she asks you how I'm fairing G7 Tell her I'm just about to lose my mind D7 Worrying about old Johnny Lee Walker G7 And the girl I left behind
[Verse 1]
C7 Now John Lee Walker was a card mechanic G7 Had a hand for trouble and a eye for cash D7 The luckiest man in Dallas County G7 Had a gold watch chain and a black mustache G7 And he loved his whiskey C7 And he loved his women G7 Drove a big long Cadillac limousine D7 Kept a big fine fancy townhouse in Dallas G7 And a hotel suite in New Orleans C7 Kept a switchblade knife in his left hip pocket G7 And a .44 hog leg up under his coat D7 He'll cut you down in a New York minute G7 If he catch you cheating that was all she wrote
[Chorus]
C7 So call up Trudy on the telephone G7 Send her a letter in the mail D7 Tell her I'm hung up in Dallas G7 And they won't let me outta this jail C7 If she asks you how I'm fairing G7 Tell her I'm just about to lose my mind D7 Worrying about old Johnny Lee Walker G7 And the girl I left behind
[Verse 2]
C7 I just got to town last Friday evening G7 I sure as hell didn't mean to stay D7 I was on my way back to Louisiana G7 Had a powerful thirst and six months pay C7 Met a peroxide blonde in a bar on Deville G7 I was flying high and feeling mean D7 Poured down a bottle and a half a red eye G7 I dropped thirty-five dollars in the slot machine C7 And the boys in the back was a-dealing seven cards G7 I sat down and won me a hundred and ten D7 Oh I was raking in chips like Grant took Richmond G7 Till big Johnny Lee came a-strolling in C7 And he ripped off the table like a 707 G7 Pretty soon he done won all of my bread G7 I accused him of cheating D7 He reached for a pistol G7 I grabbed a chair and I went upside of his head C7 Then I took off running like a motorcycle G7 I heard the bullets whining and the sirens wail D7 But it took half the cops in Dallas County G7 Just to put one coon ass boy in jail
[Chorus]
C7 So call up Trudy on the telephone G7 Send her a letter in the mail D7 Tell her I'm hung up in Dallas G7 And they won't let me outta this jail C7 If she asks you how I'm fairing G7 Tell her I'm just about to lose my mind D7 Worrying about old Johnny Lee Walker G7 And the girl I left behind C7 Call up Trudy on the telephone G7 Send her a letter in the mail D7 Tell her I'm hung up in Dallas G7 And they won't let me outta this jail C7 If she asks you how I'm fairing G7 Tell her I'm just about to lose my mind D7 Worrying about old Johnny Lee Walker G7 And the girl I left behind
