THE DEATH PENALTY

Oh my dear father what have I done ? 
I hope you will forgive your only son 
A moment of madness has now cost me 
My life, my freedom and my security 

Oh my dear mother please will you forgive?
I will die soon I haven't got long left to live 
It wasn't planned like the court said 
Didn't mean to shoot my wife dead 

Oh my dear sister I apologise for the stress
My sorrow and anguish I need to express
Your brother needs you I'm so sorry sis 
I never thought it would be like this 

Oh my dear friends please stay around 
Heading for that chair is where I'm bound
Sentenced to death people will see me die
I ask you dear friends please don't cry 

Tomorrow is my last day it's time to depart
My family and friends close to my heart
The death penalty to some maybe right 
As I fade away and disappear from sight
