Revenge - David Allan Coe

Judy, I feel weary now

Older than a man of 33

The gates of Hell just opened

After 20 years the warden says I’m free

Revenge was all I wanted

When I killed the man that took your life that day

I’ve had my satisfaction

But the price was more than love should have to pay

Lord knows you weren’t no lady

And the witnesses all swore you was to blame

And the way you teased the menfolk

The jury all agreed you knew no shame

Knew no shame

Well I’m glad that you can’t see me now

You’d probably say I do not look my best

Those lawyers took my money

And that Louisiana road gang took the rest

And Judy I can’t even conjure up your picture in my mind today

Lately I’ve been thinking W

What a fool I was to love you anyway

Well it all seems kind of useless

As I place these flowers on your grave today

I don’t know what I’m doing here

I’ve forgotten all the things I came to say
