Revenge

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

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

E
Revenge was all I wanted

       D                   E      
When I killed the man that took 
             A
your life that day

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

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

    E                A
All swore you was to blame

        E
And the way you teased the menfolk,

    D                          
The jury all agreed you knew no 
 A              E
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
