marty robbins – chair lyrics
all night long i tried but couldn’t sleep.
tried to be a man, tried not to weep.
now i hear the turning of the key,
silently, the guard motions to me.
now realize the end is near
and i find i can’t control my fear.
as i p-ss the guard, i start to cry,
and i whisper, “i don’t want to die!”
then from death row comes a whisper, “charlie, be a man.”
and i scream, “just wait till your turn, then see if you can!”
down the hall they push and carry me.
blind with fright and tears won’t let me see.
through a door and then i stop and stare,
’cause i see it, there it is, the chair.
then they strap me in and turn to leave,
and the prison chaplain says “believe,
faith in god will cause him to forgive.”
i have faith, but still i want to live.
suddenly, i’m paralyzed, this must be the end.
my body jerks and trembles as they turn it on again.
quickly as it came, the pain is gone.
i hear music, someone sings a song.
suddenly i seem to float through air.
something’s wrong ’cause i’m still in the chair.
in the room there’s hardly any light,
now i see a doctor dressed in white.
i hear every word, it’s plainly said.
did i hear them say, “this man is dead?”
did i hear them say, “this man is dead?
