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
