Dipped my heart and hands in honey
Snake Lady done stole my savings
Told gold digger she was having my babies
Well, gold digger swung, snake lady fell
I took Gold Digger up to Chapel Hill
Oh, I married her fast, murdered her young
Oh, took my money back and made my run
Well, bus driver, all in red
Yeah, go pull this bus over and end up dead
Yeah go drive this bus down to Mexico
Park it on a cliff where that good grass grows
Till a chopper came along one sunny day
Oh, to burn my crops, lock me away
Well I'm eager, young and qualified
Got a date with that chair, oh, in late July
Ooooh
Yeah so, tell My mama, old and grey
Sittin' at-a home weepin' away
Oh. Her only boy washed down the drain
Gonna take her son oh and lock him away
Well, mama should be proud of me
Oh, I lived like a man, I'll die like a king
Cause I'm eager, young and qualified
Got a date with that chair, oh, in late July
Ooooh
Yeah so, tell my pappa his old and fat
His chewin his cigar with his hair slicked back
Yeah, roll him over, beat him black
Say it's from that boy oh he never had
Well, papa should be in my place
Oh to fry like bacon, hang like lace
Cause I'm eager, young and qualified
Got a date with that chair, oh, in late July so
Call Big Betty, yeah, my old squeeze
Kiss you so good, you go weak in the knees
Come to see her old man pop
I wanna have you there, when my big heart stops
But don't you worry, don't you fret
Oh I won't die with no regrets
Because I'm eager, young and qualified
Well I'm eager, young and starry-eyed
Well the big leagues call, oh you know that I reply
I got a date with that chair, oh, in late July
Oh it's coming up mighty, mighty, mighty fast just like
Ooooh
Just like oooooh
