Send Me to the Electric Chair |
| Judge, your Honour, hear my plea |
| Before you open up your court |
| I don’t want no sympathy |
| 'Cause I done cut my good man’s throat |
| I caught him with a trifling Jane |
| I warned him 'bout before |
| I had my knife and went insane |
| And the rest you ought to know |
| Judge, Judge, please Mister Judge |
| Send me to the 'lectric chair |
| Judge, Judge, good Mister Judge |
| Let me go away from here |
| I wanna take a journey |
| To the devil down below |
| I done killed my man |
| I wanna reap just what I sow |
| Judge, Judge, good Mister Judge |
| Send me to the 'lectric chair |
| Judge, Judge, oh Lordy Judge |
| I love him so dear |
| I cut him with my barlow |
| I kicked him in the side |
| I stood here laughing o’r him |
| While he wallowed around and died |
| Oh Judge, Judge, good Mister Judge |
| Send me to the 'lectric chair |
| Judge, Judge, sweet Mister Judge |
| Send me to the 'lectric chair |
| Judge, Judge, good kind Judge |
| Burn me, I don’t care |
| I don’t want no one good mayor |
| To go my bail |
| I don’t want to spend no |
| Ninety-nine years here in jail |
| Oh Judge, Judge, sweet Mister Judge |
| Send me to the 'lectric chair |
| Judge, Judge, good kind Judge |
| Send me to the 'lectric chair |
| I don’t want no one good mayor |
| To go my bail |
| I don’t want to spend no |
| Ninety-nine years here in jail |
| Oh Judge, Judge, sweet Mister Judge |
| Send me to the 'lectric chair |
| Judge, Judge, good kind Judge |
| Send me to the 'lectric chair |
