women's prison
I'm in a women's prison With bars all around I caught my darlin' cheating 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 is screamin' Let the murderer die But above all their voices I can hear my mama cry  I'm sittin' here on 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 clinging of his keys But when they come to get me He'll have to 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, "Dying's part of livin' you 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 I hear on earth Is my mama's cry  [Incomprehensible]
