《The Chair》歌词

[00:00:00] The Chair (椅子) - Marty Robbins

[00:00:01] Written by：M. Robbins

[00:00:08] All night long I tried but couldn't sleep

[00:00:17] Tried to be a man tried not to weep

[00:00:25] Now I hear the turning of the key

[00:00:34] Silently the guard motions to me

[00:00:41] Now realize the end is near

[00:00:49] And I find I can't control my fear

[00:00:58] As I pass the guard I start to cry

[00:01:07] And I whisper I don't want to die

[00:01:15] Then from death row comes a whisper Charlie be a man

[00:01:23] And I scream just wait till your turn then see if you can

[00:01:31] Down the hall they push and carry me

[00:01:39] Blind with fright and tears won't let me see

[00:01:47] Through a door and then I stop and stare

[00:01:55] 'Cause I see it there it is the chair

[00:02:03] Then they strap me in and turn to leave

[00:02:11] And the prison chaplain says believe

[00:02:19] Faith in god will cause him to forgive

[00:02:27] I have faith but still I want to live

[00:02:36] Suddenly I'm paralyzed this must be the end

[00:02:43] My body jerks and trembles as they turn it on again

[00:02:52] Quickly as it came the pain is gone

[00:02:59] I hear music someone sings a song

[00:03:08] Suddenly I seem to float through air

[00:03:16] Something's wrong 'cause I'm still in the chair

[00:03:24] In the room there's hardly any light

[00:03:32] Now I see a doctor dressed in white

[00:03:40] I hear every word it's plainly said

[00:03:49] Did I hear them say this man is dead

[00:03:57] Did I hear them say this man is dead
