Sitting alone in my prison cell

Watching the setting sun

My trial on earth is over now

But my main trial is yet to come



My main trial is yet to come, O Lord

I'm sentenced to die at dawn

But after I die in the electric chair

My main trial is yet to come



The judge will give me the electric chair

But that won't worry me

It's what will the verdict be to come

When I face the judge of eternity



Oh mother, I'm leavin' you here alone

I've disgraced your name, I know

This trial on earth was for my soul

But my main trial is yet to come



My main trial is yet to come, O Lord

I'm sentenced to die at dawn

But after I die in the electric chair

My main trial is yet to come
