I want to shake hands with my partner and ask him how come he's here   I want to shake hands with my partner, ask him how come he's here   I had a wreck with my family, they're gonna send me to the electric chair   I wonder why they electrocute a man at the one o'clock hour of night   And I wonder why they electrocute a man at the one o'clock hour of night   Because the current is much stronger, when the folks has turned out all the lights   I sat in the electrocutin' room, my arms folded up and cryin'   I sat in the electrocutin' room, my arms folded up and cryin'   And my baby asked the question, was they gonna electrocute that man of mine?   Lemon, get me a taxi to take me away from here   Lemon, get me a taxi to take me all away from here   I haven't had a good friend in this world, since they lead Lemon to the electric chair   I feel like jumpin' in the ocean, I feel like jumpin' in the deep blue sea   I feel like jumpin' in the ocean, and like jumpin' into the deep blue sea   But nothin' like that wrecked in my heart when they brought my electrocuted daddy to me
