Coe, David Allan - Revenge Lyrics






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

  11. L.... ....

    If you don't like David Allan Coe .... You Can Kiss My Ass !

  12. c.... f....

    dac a real outlaw at best , a real singer writer at best a voice of a bygone time at the least, a troubled soul in peace bless the rest

  13. R.... T....

    I sure miss these old country singers

  14. D.... C....

    Thank you Lord for showing me how to forgive! Revenge would have been sweet thats why i pray for them to be blessed best revenge for me.

  15. M.... ....

    Thanks for the story coe👏👏

  16. B.... L....

    God he's the best

  17. A.... J....

    Live it love it write it. D.A.C.

  18. J.... H....

    Anyone else notice he's 33 but he's been in prison 20 years for murder?

    J.... H....

    he killed a man with his bare hands at 13 , he was the youngest offender sent to a max unit in 52 i think or maybe 1953 , thats a fact

  19. R.... B....

    Great song. I love DAC. But umm he said Judy I feel weary now, older than a man of 33. The gates of hell just opened up after 20 years the warden says I am free. So... at the age of 13 his crime was committed? I know it is a story, and a song, but could of done a bit better.

  20. S.... V....

    Probably the best song ever written

  21. D.... H....

    i get lost in this song everytime

  22. D.... R....

    Lord what a voice David allan coe forever.

  23. D.... R....

    Stop mentioning trump he is a chump and he certainly ain't a real man. A real man doesn't talk about women the way he does. He isn't country like David allan coe who is as real man and the greatest country star ever.

    D.... R....

    haha you don't think dac talks about the ladies of the night in a gentlemanly tone with kind words do ya now

    D.... R....

    You don’t know DAC boy have a listen to his x rated and underground albums 😂

  24. S.... J....

    No Coe, no country. Know Coe, Know country. End of story.

    S.... J....

    Sean Jacobs dam straight

    S.... J....

    Well said

    S.... J....

    *This Right here*

    S.... J....

    Damn right

  25. U.... ....

    This one means alot to me

  26. M.... B....

    Few songs capture the nihilism of the modern world and make it seem beautiful somehow. There's no resolution here at the end only regret. How fine that beautiful I don't know,maybe because there have been great songs come of it. Reminds me of an outlaw country Alice In Chains

    M.... B....

    I find*

    M.... B....

    ”No resolution, only regret”
    Indeed!
    20 years gone is something you’ll never get back.
    And for what? The honor of a woman that had none? That you drunkenly thought you sorta kinda loved?
    Fuck. I would have probably done the same fucking thing.

  27. B.... R....

    DAC and that 12 string and masterful songwriting adds up to badass!

  28. W.... W....

    What a fucking amazing song.

  29. b.... d....

    only problem i have with this song is the math is weird , or he was 13 years old when he went to prison. "older than a man at 33 , gates of hell opened after 20 years the warden says im free"

    b.... d....

    brad dovel he went in at 33 he left 20 years later that's why he feels older then a man of 33

    b.... d....

    33 ÷53=65 so i reckon he about 76 right now , gosh dang I do believe schooling paid off for me

  30. K.... W....

    54 people can go fuck a light socket. preferably with the switch on

  31. s.... s....

  34. J.... W....

    I CAN'T STAND THAT BULLSHIT THEY CALL COUNTRY MUSIC TODAY. I LOVE THE HOLE OUTLAW COUNTY MUSIC NOW THAT'S WHAT YOU CALL COUNTRY MUSIC.💯🎃

  35. M.... W....

    Damn right

  36. D.... C....

    Cant fuck with that old time chain gang! Respect the old school everyone the ones that came before are dieing out we must try to preserve all the good stuff that came from the old times

  37. E.... B....

    Those lawyers took my money. That Louisiana road gang took the rest!!

    E.... B....

    This has become one of my favorite lines in all of music. Such a deep picture painted with only a few words.

  38. R.... H....

    Now this is country!

  39. T.... W....

    Hell,Prison,killin,Revenge....truly one of the prettiest songs I ever eared.

  40. r.... j....

    Man can DAC ever hit me in the soul. Music for real men

  41. C.... ....

    a real love song.
    unbelievably powerful.

  42. g.... ....

    Upon further review I think he was 33 at the time,it's more complicated to think he gave it all to something that he shouldn't have. that's all the more clear by the last line of the song,it's all for nothing

  43. D.... S....

    To the 15 people that disliked this, suck it!

  44. J.... w....

    Yes, but it's a good song. An if you know about DAC he was a trouble maker, in his younger year.

  45. S.... ....

    It's a great song, but he's 33 and been in prison for 20 years? He killed a guy and got 20 years when he was 13, then??

    S.... ....

    SidewinderSigns your an idiot

    S.... ....

    *you're

    S.... ....

    He’s talking about his grandpa. In family reunion he says his grandpa killed a man at 13

    S.... ....

    SidewinderSigns Don't ever question DAC mofo😂

    S.... ....

    well in other songs he says strange shit too. his dad was a drunk mean rattlesnake-like man who was also a tee totalling God fearing farmer. young David spent the summer cutting up logs for the winter, when he put them in a coal burning stove. he was born in Dallas Texas, which is apparently in Ohio. Who cares? Its DAC.

  46. J.... K....

    is DAC still alive

    J.... K....

    Yes and still kicking ass

    J.... K....

    was just in my town a few days ago

    J.... K....

    Yeah and well

    J.... K....

    Yeah. He aint kickin too much ass these days but he’s still out there.
    All those years of chain smoking have stolen his wind.
    He’s still one of the most bad ass motherfuckers to ever come strollin down the pike.

  47. R.... D....

    the sound of that fuckin guitar is badass

  48. A.... G....

    so sad... Outlaw country!!!

  49. D.... H....

    Best fucking COUNTRY song writer and singer!

    D.... H....

    agreed. best ever

  50. W.... S....

    DAC 4 PRESIDENT

    W.... S....

    partly i do agree, but good people, and greate actions do not grow old, so i think someone could be president post mortem, for the better of humanity.THEORETICLY of course :) love dac for his songs thou

    W.... S....

    me and my dad have been going to Staunton, Dayton, Harrisonburg and about 20 other places thru the valley picking up scrap copper and aluminium wire from electric membership coop for about 45 yrs now. My dad use to party hearty with the DAC band when he would come anywhere near us (toccoa ga). yes it is a sad site to see this great man slowing down, like my fatger. however, my dad always listened to all his albums and I am glad because my taste in music is great I know because DAC is my favorite.

  51. B.... Z....

    I was born in 86 grew up workin outside with my dad and listening to his old coe records and Hank Sr, George Jones, Cash,haggard and I still love it taday, my boy is now 3 and loves listenin to all those same records, we dont listen to that pop country BS they play on the radio. POP COUNTRY SUX may as well call it hip hop bullshit music. Central NY Rebel!!!!

    B.... Z....

    like father like son

    B.... Z....

    Keep burning the candle. Country isn't even country today.

    B.... Z....

    Even hip hop is better than pop country

  52. m.... p....

    Coe is #1 everyday I know his music has change me forever we have a duty to pass it on.

    m.... p....
