SEND ME TO THE 'LECTRIC CHAIR
 

Judge, Your Honor, hear my plea
Before you open up your court
But I don't want no sympathy
I cause I done cut my good man's throat
I caught him with a travelling Jane
I warned him 'bout before
I had my knife and went insane
And the rest you ought to know
 

Judge, Judge, please Mr. Judge
Send me to the 'lectric chair
Judge, Judge, good Mr. Judge
Let me go away from here
I want to take a journey
To the devil down below
I done killed my man
I want to reap just what I sow
oh Judge, Judge, lordy lordy Judge
Send me to the 'lectric chair
Judge, Judge, heat me Judge
Send me to the 'lectric chair
judge, Judge, send me there Judge
I love him so dear
I cut him with my Barlow
I kicked him in the side
I stood there laughing over him
While he wallowed 'round and died
Oh Judge, Judge, lordy Judge
Send me to the 'lectric chair
Judge, Judge, sweet Mr. Judge
Send me to the 'lectric chair
Judge, Judge, good kind Judge
Burn me because I don't care
I don't want no bondsman to go my bail
I don't want to spend no ninety-nine years in jail
So Judge, Judge, good kind Judge
Send me to the 'lectric chair
