Revenge
by David Allan Coe and Jimmy Sadd
as performed by David Allan Coe
AJudy, I feel weary now, Dolder than a Eman of 3A3
The gates of Hell just opened, after D20 years the Ewarden says I'm Afree
ERevenge was all I wanted
When I Dkilled the man that Etook your life that Aday
I've had my satisfaction, but the Dprice was more than Elove should have to Apay
ELord knows you weren't no lady, and the Dwitnesses
All Eswore you was to Ablame
And the Eway you teased the menfolk,
The Djury all agreed you knew no Ashame, knew no Eshame.
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

Revenge

by David Allan Coe and Jimmy Sadd

as performed by David Allan Coe

A D E A

Judy, I feel weary now, older than a man of 33

D E A

The gates of Hell just opened, after 20 years the warden says I'm free

Revenge was all I wanted

D E A

When I killed the man that took your life that day

D E A

I've had my satisfaction, but the price was more than love should have to pay

E D

Lord knows you weren't no lady, and the witnesses

E A

All swore you was to blame

And the way you teased the menfolk,

D A E

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
