DON'T MURDER ME

Don't murder me for the world to see
that was this man's plea.
I have the papers that say it wasn't me.
Look they are official reports written by the D.O.C
The reports say the killer was someone else.
So why am I the one strapped under the belts.
Guilt or Innocence, we don't care,
We've got to find  someone to take the place
of the Chair.
Hey Warden !  doc can't find a vein,
tell doc to keep cutting until one's plain.
Hey Warden the whole damn things insane.
We don't care we've replaced that old Chair.
Doesn't that make the whole thing fair?
Guilt or Innocence who cares who's laying there,

Bennie Demps was executed 5-7-2000 in Florida with the above going on.



HURRY, HURRY

He chose to die, I think I know why.
He waived all appeals, now here's the deal.
Life on the row was too hard for this Joe.
So he wanted to hurry the verdict of the jury.
This made some happy, this made some mad.
I wonder in the end if he was even glad.
I guess he didn't know if you wait sometimes
you may get off the row.
but for him we'll never know.

Dan Hauser waived all appeals and was executed in Florida on 8/25/00 with the above going on.



WHO AM I ?

He was betrayed with a kiss
Arrested and taken to court
Went through the mockery
of a trial, At which witnesses were hired to lie,
And testify against him.
He was convicted, Condemned and sentanced to die.
We should thank him, because he did it for you
And I

PRISON MAN

Prison man came home one day
to find his true love had went away.
When he asked the reason why,
with these words she did reply.
If you would of led a decent life,
I would have gladly been your wife.
But you led the life of crime,
Prison man go do your time.
Prison man lay dead the next day,
in his letter he did say,
Dig a grave, dig it deep
lay a rose upon my feet
On my chest a turtle dove
to tell the whole world I died for love.
So you dear wife bear in mind
A soul mate is hard to find.
So if you can remember our love was once true,
It looks like this Prison Man will die for you.
