'Lectric Chair

Judge your honour, hear my plea
Before you open up your court
I don't want no sympathy because I cut my good man's throat
I caught him with a travellin' Jane
I'd warned him 'bout before
I had my knife and I went insane
The rest you ought to know

Judge, Judge please Mister Judge
Send me to the 'Lectric Chair
Judge, Judge good time Judge
Just let me go away from here
I want to take a journey to the devil down below
I done killed my man I'm gonna reap just what I sowed
Judge, Judge lawdy lawdy Judge
Send me to the 'Lectric Chair

Judge, Judge, please Mister Judge
Send me to the 'Lectric Chair
I won't take no abuse excuse, 'cos I loved him dear
I cut him with my Barlow, I kicked him in the side
And I stood there laughin' over him while he wallowed round and died
Judge, Judge, Judge, lawdy lawdy Judge
Send me to the 'Lectric Chair

Judge, Judge, please Mister Judge
Send me to the 'Lectric Chair
Judge, Judge, lawdy lawdy Judge
Burn me 'cos I don't care
I don't want no Boston man to go my bail
Don't want to spend no ninety nine years in jail
Judge, Judge, Judge, lawdy lawdy Judge
Send me to the 'Lectric Chair
