David Allan Coe — Death Row

[spoken] Sittin' here on death row Behind a ton of steel They say before I die I gotta eat my last meal [Sung] I wanna double yolked egg from a [garbled] pidgeon with fried bat wings over easy The left hind leg of a black giraffe cooked medium rare, not too greasy Smoked rhinoceros, pickled ant-eaters a plate of elephant stew One mandrake root and a rabbit's tung and a jaw of kangaroo Oh Lord! Now you know how I feel! I'll be ready to die now Just as soon as I eat my last meal! I hear yuh! I want fresh tear-drops from a new-born child in a glass made in timbuktu If you can't get that, try a stewed pole-cat smothered with catfish brew Take the ears from a rat-tailed monkey mixed with a spider's left eye And make me a sald of jungle roots and I'll be ready to die! Oh Lord! Now you know how I feel! I'll be ready to die now Just as soon as I eat my last meal!
