I caught my darlin cheatin that's when I shot him down
A D A
I caught him in a honky-tonk with a girl I used to know

The door to my cell is open wide and a voice cries out oh no
verse 2
A D A
The judge says I'm guilty my sentence is to die
E D A
I know I've been forgiven but the price of love is high
D A
As the crowd outside is screamin' let the murderer die
D E E7 E13 E7*
But above all their voices I can hear my mama cry
A D A
I'm sittin' here on death row and Lord I've lost my mind
E D A Asus4 A Asus4 A
For love I've killed my darlin and for love I'll lose my life

And there's a crowd outside screamin' let that murderer fry

And the last voice I hear on Earth is my mama's cry
