My Main Trial Is Yet To Come Lyrics - The Stanley Brothers

Sittin' alone in my cold prison cell 

Watchin the sinkin' 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'll die in the morning at dawn 

But after I die in the electric chair 

My main trial is yet to come 

Oh mother I'm leavin' you here all alone 

I've disgraced your name I know 

This trial on earth is for my life 

But the main trial will be for my soul 

The judge gave me the electric chair 

But that don't worry me 

It's what the verdict will be on that day 

When the main judge's face I see
