Artist/Band: Skeeter Davis
Lyrics for Song: Give Me Death
Lyrics for Album: Not That Easy To Forget: The Early Years [1970]



(Marie Wilson - 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

Then 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...
