Lyrics

Oh, well, gold digger took my money
 Yeah, dipped my heart and hands in honey
 Snakelady 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
 Pull this bus over and end up dead
 Yeah, go drive this bus down to Mexico
 Park it on a cliff where the 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
 ♪
 My mama, old and grey
 Is still sittin' at 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
 Oh, 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
 ♪
 So long dear my papa, he's old and fat
 He's 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 called
 Oh, you know that I replied
 I got a date with that chair, oh, in late July
 Oh and it's coming up mighty, mighty, mighty fast
 Just like, oh
