Marty Robbins - Chair lyrics
All night long , I tried, but couldn't sleep Tried to be a man, tried not to weep Now, I hear the turning of the key Silently, the guard motions to me Now, I realize the end is near And I find I can't control my fear As I pass the guard, I start to cry And I whisper, " I don't want to die" Then, from Death Row comes a whisper "Charlie, be a man" Then, I scream, "Just wait 'til your turn Then, see if you can" Down the hall, they push and carry me Blind with fright and tears won't let me see Through a door and then, I stop and stare 'Cause I see it, there it is, the chair Then, they strap me in and turn to leave And the Prison Chaplain says, "Believe Faith in God will cause Him to forgive" I have faith, but still, I wanna live Suddenly, I'm paralized This must be the end My body jerks and trembles And they turn it on again As quickly as it came, the pain is gone I hear music. Someone sings a song Suddenly, I seem to float through air Something's wrong, 'cause I'm still in the chair In the room, there's hardly any light And I see the Doctor dressed in white I hear every word that's plainly said Did I hear him say, "This man is dead" |
