Skeeter Davis - Give Me Death lyrics

rate me

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
