Judy, I feel weary now, older than a man of 33 The gates of
Hell just opened, after 20 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 Chorus:
Lord 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 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 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
