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

Give Me Death Lyrics
