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 pass 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
