I'm standing in the courtroom The trial is for my life The jury found me guilty The crime is killing twice I found him with another I guess he loved her best Found in a lover's jealous rage I shot them both to death Give me death give me death A lifetime in a prison is what they've given me But in some lonely graveyard Is where I'd rather be So judge I beg for mercy Please put my soul at rest Judge please change my sentence From life and give me death Give me death give me death Give me death give me death
