| 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 |
