Helljumper Blues is a variant of Cocaine Blues.

Early one mornin' while makin' the rounds I took a shot of plasma and saw my planet down I went right home and went to bed I stuck that lovin' 44 beneath my head

Got up next mornin' and I grabbed that gun took a shot of whisky and away I run Made a good run but I run too slow they overtook me down in Bliss Arae

Late in the hot joints takin' the pills in walked the sheriff from Jericho Hill He said Willy Lee your name is not Jack Brown You're the dirty hack that shot your woman down Said yes oh yes my name is Willy Lee if you've got the warrant just aread it to me Shot her down because she made me slow I thought I was her daddy but she had five more

When I was arrested I was dressed in black They put me on a train and they took me back Had no friend for to go my bail they slapped my dried up carcass in that country jail

Early next mornin' bout a half past nine I spied the sheriff coming down the line Talked and he coughed as he cleared his throat He said come on you dirty heck into that district court Into the courtroom my trial began where I was handled by twelve honest men Just before the jury started out I saw the little judge commence to look about

In about five minutes in walked the man holding the verdict in his right hand The verdict read in the first degree I hollered Lordy Lordy have a mercy on me

The judge he smiled as he picked up his pin 99 years in the Helljumpers 99 years underneath those Stars I can't forget the day I shot that bad bitch down Come on you've gotta listen unto me lay off that whiskey and let that cocaine be
