Revenge Lyrics - David Allan Coe

Judy I feel weary now older than a man of thirty-three 

The gates of hell just opened after twenty 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 

Lords 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 that I do not look my best 

Those lawyers took my money 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 

Lords 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 

Well it all seems kinda useless as I place these flowers on your grave today 

I don't know what I'm doin' here I've forgotten all the things I came to say
