Sitting alone in my prison cell   Watching the setting sun   My trial on earth is over now   But my main trial is yet to come      My main trial is yet to come, O Lord   I'm sentenced to die at dawn   But after I die in the electric chair   My main trial is yet to come      The judge will give me the electric chair   But that won't worry me   It's what will the verdict be to come   When I face the judge of eternity      Oh mother, I'm leavin' you here alone   I've disgraced your name, I know   This trial on earth was for my soul   But my main trial is yet to come      My main trial is yet to come, O Lord   I'm sentenced to die at dawn   But after I die in the electric chair   My main trial is yet to come
