Revenge
by David Allan Coe and Jimmy Sadd
as performed by 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.
Second verse:
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 thinkin what a fool I was to love you anyway
Last verse:
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
