I want to shake hands with my partner and ask him how come he's here

I want to shake hands with my partner ask him how come he's here

I had a wreck with my family they're gonna send me to the electric chair

I wonder why they electrocute a man at the one o'clock hour of night

And I wonder why they electrocute a man at the one o'clock hour of night

Because the current is much stronger when the folks has turned out all the lights

I sat in the electrocutin' room my arms folded up and cryin'

I sat in the electrocutin' room my arms folded up and cryin'

And my baby asked the question was they gonna electrocute that man of mine

Lemon get me a taxi to take me away from here

Lemon get me a taxi to take me all away from here

I haven't had a good friend in this world

Since they lead Lemon to the electric chair

I feel like jumpin' in the ocean

I feel like jumpin' in the deep blue sea

I feel like jumpin' in the ocean and like jumpin' into the deep blue sea

But nothin' like that wrecked in my heart

When they brought my electrocuted daddy to me
