Sittin' alone in my cold prison cell

Watching the sinkin' sun

My trial on earth is over now

But my main trial is yet to come

My main trial is yet to come oh Lord

I'll die in the morning at dawn

But after I die in the electric chair

My main trial is yet to come

Oh mother I'm leavin' you here all alone

I've disgraced your name I know

This trial on earth is for my life

But the main trial will be for my soul

My main trial is yet to come oh Lord

I'll die in the morning at dawn

But after I die in the electric chair

My main trial is yet to come

The judge gave me the electric chair

But that don't worry me

It's what the verdict will be on that day

When the main judge's face I see

My main trial is yet to come oh Lord

I'll die in the morning at dawn

But after I die in the electric chair

My main trial is yet to come
