Send Me To The ’Lectric Chair Songtext
von Tracy Nelson

Judge, your honor, 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 the traveling 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 time 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

Judge, Judge, lordy, lordy Judge
Send me to the 'lectric chair


Judge, Judge, hear me Judge
Send me to the ′lectric chair
I won′t take no abuse excuse
'Cause I love him so dear

I cut him with my barlow
I kicked him in the side
I stood here laughing o′r him
While he wallowed around and died

Oh Judge, Judge, lordy, lordy Judge
Send me to the 'lectric chair

Now Judge, Judge, please Mister Judge
Send me to the ′lectric chair
Judge, Judge, good time 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
99 years here in jail

Judge, Judge, lordy, lordy Judge
Send me to the ′lectric chair
