Give Me Death Lyrics - Skeeter Davis

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
