And the last voice I hear on earth
The door to my cell is open wide
I caught him in a honky-tonk
My sentence is to die
There's a crowd outside screamin'
From the clinging of his keys
The crowd outside is screamin'
Let that murderer fry
I can hear the warden coming
The priest is reading my last rights
For love I've killed my darlin'
And for love I'll lose my life
I know I've been forgiven
He says, "Dying's part of livin' you know"
I can hear my mama cry
You can hear my mama cry
And a voice cries out oh no
I'm sittin' here on death row
And covered up my eyes
And Lord I've lost my mind
But the price of love is high
But above all their voices
I caught my darlin' cheating
But when they come to get me
Let the murderer die
Now they've strapped me in the chair
The door to my cell swings open
But above all their voices
He'll have to drag me off my knees
Is my mama's cry
It's time for me to go
Thats when I shot him down
The judge says I'm guilty
With a girl I used to know
