Karla Faye - Mary Gauthier

A little girl lost

Her world full of pain

He said it feels good

She gave him her vein

The dope made her numb

And numb felt like free

Until she came down, down, down

To a new misery

A junkie a whore

Living for the next high

She’d lie cheat and steal

She forgot how to cry

Wide awake for two weeks

Shooting heroin then speed

When she killed in cold, cold blood

All she felt was her need

It’s an eye for an eye

Now you’re gonna die

A tooth for a tooth

It’s your moment of truth

There’s no mercy here

Your stay is denied

Go on and pray, pray, pray

There’s Mercy in the sky

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

Love whispered her name

It reached through and held her

Lifted her pain

15 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

A tooth for a tooth

It’s your moment of truth

There’s no mercy here

Your stay is denied

Go on and pray, pray, pray
