Judge, you wanna hear my plea |
|
Before you open up your court |
|
But 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, Mr. Judge |
|
Send me to the 'lectric chair |
|
Judge, Judge, good Mr. 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 |
|
Oh, Judge, Judge, lordy, lordy, Judge |
|
Send me to the 'lectric chair |
|
Judge, Judge, hear 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, please, Mr. Judge |
|
Send me to the 'lectric chair |
|
Judge, Judge, good, kind Judge |
|
Burn me, for I don't care |
|
I don't want no bumbling man |
|
To go my bail |
|
I don't want to spend no |
|
Nine and ninety years in jail |
|
So Judge, Judge, good kind Judge |
|
Send me to the 'lectric chair |
