My Main Trial Is Yet to Come Songtext
von Hank Williams

Sitting alone in my prison cell
Watching the setting sun
My trial on earth is over now
But my main trial is yet to come

My main trial is yet to come, oh Lord
I′m sentenced to die at dawn
But after I die in the electric chair
My main trial is yet to come


The judge will give me the electric chair
But that won't worry me
It′s what will the verdict be to come
When I face the judge of eternity

Oh mother, I'm leavin' you here alone
I′ve disgraced your name, I know
This trial on earth was for my soul
But my main trial is yet to come

My main trial is yet to come, oh Lord
I′m sentenced to die at dawn
But after I die in the electric chair
My main trial is yet to come
