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

E
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

E
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
