lyrics

I grabbed that woman and I tied her to an armchair
I tied her to an armchair on that cold December night
My heart filled with pain, for we bought that chair together
With my finger on the trigger i pulled hard with all my might

That shot it jerked my hand, so I could not hit her squarely
No, I did not hit her squarely on that cold December night
I stayed there for a while, and I watched as she lay bleeding
Threw that gun into the garden and ran off in such a fright

The sheriff told me later, that they found me by the river
They found me by the river on that cold December night
That she didn't live much longer, she died an hour later
Not before she called her mother just to tell her what I done

That woman never liked me, so I can see how you boys found me
I can see how you boys found me here on this cold December night
But I won't tell you that I'm sorry, for murdering her daughter
For that girl was supposed to love me but she cheated and she lied

I lay here waiting, every hour in this prison
Every hour in this prison's like a cold December night
Well I lay here waiting till I can finally meet my maker
He'll come down here and drag me up and end my darkened life

They'll lay me on the table, they'll strap me in securely
They'll strap me in securely on a cold December night
They'll lay that blindfold over me, they'll shove that needle in me
I guess thats the price I pay for killing my dear wife
On that cold December night
