[length: 02:46]
[00:11.80]The jury found the verdict first degree
[00:19.39]They swore I planned her death to be
[00:26.36]I prayed they’d sentence me to die
[00:33.24]But they wanted me to live and I know why
[00:39.39]So I’d do life in prison for the wrongs I’ve done
[00:47.29]And I pray every night for death to come
[00:53.33]My life will be a burden every day
[01:00.60]If I could die, my pain might go away
[01:35.66]With trembling hands I killed my darling wife
[01:43.59]Because I loved her more than life
[01:49.57]My love for her will last a long, long time
[01:56.59]But I’d rather die than live to lose my mind
[02:03.54]And I’ll do life in prison for the wrongs I’ve done
[02:11.30]And I pray every night for death to come
[02:17.62]My life will be a burden every day
[02:25.09]If I could die, my pain might go away
[02:31.91]If I could die, my pain might go away
