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

'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

Le 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 laughin' over him

While he wallowed 'round 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 bondsman man to go my bail

I don't want to spend no ninety-ninety years in jail

So judge, judge, good kind judge

Send me to the 'lectric chair
