Visiting Day by Samm Bennett - Polarity Records

VISITING DAY

i’ve been a bad man
i’ve done bad things
now I’m in prison
that’s what a life like mine brings

here on death row
god only knows
i’m gonna die in these
drab old prison clothes

ah but there was a woman
used to come see me
she’d say that she loved me
made me so happy
how I looked forward
to visiting day...

till that one day came, she didn’t show
never again did I see her you know
she sent me no letter, not even a note
just year after year passing by
that’s all she wrote

but i got ten cigarettes
some cough syrup too
i'll have me a party tonight
i tell you true

and i'll dream ‘bout that woman
she’ll be with me there
sitting right on my lap
in that electric chair

she’ll shower this ol’ prisoner with kisses
in that electric chair
ooh i can feel her there
go ahead, pull the switch
mmm-hmmm
she'll be with me there
in that electric chair
