Loretta Lynn - Women's Prison lyrics
I'm in a womens prison With bars all around I caught my darlin' cheatin' That's 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 I'm guilty My sentence is to die I know I've been forgiven But the price of love is high. The crowd outside screamin' Let that murderer die But above all their voices I can hear my mama cry. I'm sittin' here on the death row And Lord, I've lost my mind For love I've killed my darlin' And for love I'll lose my life. I can hear the warden coming From the pinging of his keys But when they come to get me They'll hafta drag me off my knees. The door to my cell swings open It's time for me to go The priest is reading my last rights He says, dyin's part of livin', ya know. There's a crowd outside screamin' Let that murderer fry But above all their voices You can hear my mama cry. Now they've strapped me in the chair And covered up my eyes And the last voice that I hear on earth Is my mama's cry. Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound That saved a wretch like me I once was lost but now I'm found Was blind but now I see... |
