In reply to Jim Dixon (Date: 08 Jul 03 - 08:05 PM) Yours is the only version anyone has posted that contains the electric chair verse I remember my Dad singing when I was a kid (he's 95 now and just remembered a snatch of it the other day) The couplet you were looking for is "I've always been a gentleman," said he, "and I *entreat* If there's a lady present, I'd like to give her my seat." They put a nice young fellow in the electric chair one day. They asked him if he'd anything that he would like to say. "I've always been a gentleman," said he, "and I insist, (?) If there's a lady present, I'd like to give her my seat."
