Wire Flowers: More Songs from the Wrong Side of Memphis, Johnny Dowd

Judgement Day

She's dead they executed her today
God gave her life
But the mighty state of Texas took it away

She's dead gone to a better place
The governor's so ashamed
He won't even show his face

She's dead her debt to society has been paid
Now she's just a memory
Fa-fa-fading away

She's dead six foot in the ground
The devil took her body
But her soul is heaven bound

She's dead no need to explain
They strapped her to a gurney
And stuck a needle in her vein

She's dead just one thing left to say
She ain't the only one
Must face God on judgement day

She's dead turn the channel, flip the page
On the wings of an angel
fly from this earthly cage
