Johnny Lee 
WalkerAnd the girl

Now Johnny 
Lee Walker was a card mechanic
Had a hand for trouble and a eye for cash
Luckiest man in 
Dallas County
He had a gold watch chain and a black mustache
And he loved his whiskey and he loved his women
Drove a big long 
Cadillac limousine
Kept a big fine fancy townhouse in 
DallasAnd a hotel suite in 
New Orleans
Carried a switchblade knife in his left hip pocket
And a 44 hog leg up under his coat
Cut you down in a 
New York minute
If he catch you cheating that was all she wrote

I just got to town last 
Friday evening
Sure as hell didn't mean to stay
I was on my way back to 
LouisianaHad a powerful thirst and six months pay
I met a peroxide blonde in a bar on 
D-villeI was flying high and feeling mean
Poured down a bottle and a half of red eye
I dropped 35 dollars in the slot machine
And the boys in the back was dealing 7 card
I set down and won me a 110
I was raking in chips like 
Grant took 
RichmondTill big 
Johnny Lee come a strolling in
He ripped off the bar like a 707
Pretty soon he done won all of my bread
I accused him of cheating he reached for a pistol
I grabbed a chair and went upside of his head
Then I took off a running like a motorcycle
Heard the bullets whining and sirens wail
But it took half the cops in 
Dallas County
Just to put one coon ass boy in jail
