Send Me To The 'Lectric Chair

Send Me To The 'Lectric Chair - Dinah Washington

Written by：George Brooks/Fletcher Hendershon

Judge you wanna hear my plea

Before you open up your court

I don't want no sympathy

Cause I just cut my good man's throat

I caught him with a trifling Jane

I warned him once before

I had my knife and I 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 killed my man

I wanna reap what I sow

So judge judge lordy mister judge

Send me to the 'lectric chair

Judge judge please hear me judge

Send me to the 'lectric chair

Judge judge send me there judge

Cause I love him so dear

Well I cut him with my barlow

I kicked him in the side

I stood here

While he wallowed he died

So judge judge lordy mister judge

Send me to the 'lectric chair

Judge judge good kind judge

Send me to the 'lectric chair

Judge judge please judge

Burn me cause I don't care

I don't want no bouncemet

To go my bail

I don't want to spend no

Ninety-nine years in jail

So judge judge good kind judge

Send me

Send me to the 'lectric chair
