Women's Prison

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