Capo: 1
Capo on 1st
A little girl lDost. Her world full of pGain
He said it feels gAood. So she gave him her vDein
The dope made her nDumb. And numb felt like frGee
Until she came dAown, down, down to a new miserDy
A junkie, a whDore living for the next hGigh
She'd lie, cheat and stAeal. She forgot how to crDy
Wide awake for two weDeks shooting heroin then spGeed
When she killed him in cAold, cold blood, all she felt was her nDeed
CHORUS
DNow, it's an eye for an Geye and you're gonna dDie
It's a tooth for a tAooth, your moment of trDuth.
There's no mercy hGere. Your stay is denDied
You better prAay, pray, pray you find mercy in the skDy
Alone in her cell. No dope in her veins
The killer'd become little girl lost again
She fell to her knees. She prayed she would die
On the cold cement floor she finally cried
And love came like the wind. And Love whispered her name
And love reached through and held her. Love lifted her pain
Fifteen years on death row. Her faith deeper each day
Her last words were "I love you all!" Good-bye, Karla Faye
Now it's an eye for an eye, and you're gonna die
It’s a tooth for a tooth, your moment of truth
There's no mercy here. Your stay is denied
You better pray,pray,pray you find mercy in the sky
