Shakey Graves - Late July lyrics

Oh gold digger took my money Dipped my heart and hands in honey Ol' Snake Lady 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 Took my money back and made my run Well, bus driver, all in red Pull this bus over and end up dead Yeah go drive this bus down to Mexico Park it on a cliff where that good gra** grows Until a chopper came along one sunny day To burn my crops, lock me away Girl I'm eager, young and qualified Got a date with that chair, oh, in late July My mama, old and grey Sittin' at-a home weepin' away Her only boy washed down the drain Gonna take her son and lock him away Well, mama should be proud of me I lived like a man, oh, I'll die like a king Cause I'm eager, young and qualified Got a date with that chair, oh, in late July But my pappy, old and fat Chewin his cigar with his hair slicked back Yeah, roll him over, beat him black Say it's from that boy he never had Well, papa should be in my place To fry like bacon, hang like lace Cause I'm eager, young and qualified I got a date with that chair, oh, in late July Yeah so, oh Big Betty, oh my old squeeze Oh, kiss you so good, you go weak in the knees Yeah, gon' to see her old man pop I wanna have you there when my big heart stops But don't you worry, oh don't you fret No, I won't die with no regrets Cause I'm eager, young and qualified Cause I'm eager, young and starry-eyed Oh, the big leagues call and I reply I got a date with that chair, oh, in late July
