Lyrics

Warden brought a letter by the way The stamp on the corner read "Happy Holidays" On the back there was a Merry Christmas seal Can't find nothing merry about Christmas in Huntsville Judge said God have mercy on your soul But it's hard to find God when you're laying in the hole Lethal injection for a man I didn't kill Ain't gonna be a Merry Christmas in Huntsville At home they're wrapping presents, drinking eggnog by the fire Mama's in the kitchen, putting in the pies But sitting in this prison cell, I feel the winter's chill Down to my last hours doing Christmas in Huntsville Parson came and set with me a while Said a little prayer and left me with a smile The guards bring in my final meal Turkey and dressing on this Christmas in Huntsville They ask if I have anything to say As I think of the letter they brought me yesterday From the mother of the man I didn't kill I hope you burn in hell on this Christmas in Huntsville At home, the kids are crying, Daddy's praying by the fire Mama's in the kitchen, wiping tears out of her eyes But laying on this gurney I don't feel the winter's chill I got my wish this Christmas, no more Christmas in Hunstville So long and Merry Christmas, my last Christmas in Huntsville
