David Allan Coe (born September 6, 1939) is an American singer and songwriter. Coe took up music after spending much of his early life in reform schools and prisons, and first became notable for busking in Nashville. He initially played mostly in the blues style, before transitioning to country music, becoming a major part of the 1970s outlaw country scene. His biggest hits were "Mona Lisa Lost Her Smile", "The Ride", "You Never Even Called Me by My Name", "She Used to Love Me a Lot", and "Longhaired Redneck".

Revenge by David Allan Coe and Jimmy Sadd as performed by David Allan Coe
ADEA Judy, I feel weary now, older than a man of 33
DEA The gates of Hell just opened, after 20 years the warden says I'm free
E Revenge was all I wanted
DEA When I killed the man that took your life that day
DEA I've had my satisfaction, but the price was more than love should have to pay
ED Lord knows you weren't no lady, and the witnesses
EA All swore you was to blame
E And the way you teased the menfolk,
DAE 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
