Send Me To The 'Lectric Chair (03-03-27) |
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 |
