Send Me To The 'Lectric Chair

Lyrics

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 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
 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, hear me dear judge
 I love him so dear
 I cut him with my barlow
 I kicked him in the side
 I stood there laughing o'r him
 While he wallowed around and died
 Oh judge, judge, lordy 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 'cause 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 in jail
 So judge, judge, good kind judge
 Send me to the 'lectric chair
