Lyrics Send Me To The 'Lectric Chair - Bessie Smith
Judge
you
wanna
hear
my
plea
Before
you
open
up
your
court
But
I
don't
want
no
sympathy
'Cause
I
done
cut
my
good
man's
throat
I
caught
him
with
a
trifling
Jane
I
warned
him
'bout
before
I
had
my
knife
and
went
insane
And
the
rest
you
ought
to
know
Judge,
judge,
please
mister
judge
Send
me
to
the
'lectric
chair
Judge,
judge,
good
mister
judge
Let
me
go
away
from
here
I
wanna
take
a
journey
To
the
devil
down
below
I
done
killed
my
man
I
wanna
reap
just
what
I
sow
Oh
judge,
judge,
lordy
lordy
judge
Send
me
to
the
'lectric
chair
Judge,
judge,
hear
me
judge
Send
me
to
the
'lectric
chair
Judge,
judge,
hear
me
dear
judge
I
love
him
so
dear
I
cut
him
with
my
barlow
I
kicked
him
in
the
side
I
stood
there
laughing
o'r
him
While
he
wallowed
around
and
died
Oh
judge,
judge,
lordy
judge
Send
me
to
the
'lectric
chair
Judge,
judge,
sweet
mister
judge
Send
me
to
the
'lectric
chair
Judge,
judge,
good
kind
judge
Burn
me
'cause
I
don't
care
I
don't
want
no
one
good
mayor
To
go
my
bail
I
don't
want
to
spend
no
Ninety-nine
years
in
jail
So
judge,
judge,
good
kind
judge
Send
me
to
the
'lectric
chair
