Late July |
| Oh yeah, gold digger took my money |
| Dipped my heart and hands in honey |
| Oh, snake lady stole my savings |
| Told gold digger she was having my babies |
| Well, gold digger swung, snake lady fell |
| Yeah, took gold digger up to Chapel Hill |
| I married her fast; |
| murdered her young |
| Took my money back and made my run |
| Well, bus driver, all in red |
| Go pull this bus over and end up dead |
| Go drive this bus down to Mexico |
| Park it on the cliff where that good grass 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 |
| Oh yeah so, my momma, old and grey |
| Sittin' at her home, just a-weepin' away |
| Her only boy, washed down the drain |
| Gonna take her son and lock him away |
| Well, momma 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 |
| My pappy old and fat |
| Chewin' his cigars with his hair slicked back |
| 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 starry-eyed |
| Got a date with that chair, oh in late July |
| Oh yeah so, big Betty, my old squeeze |
| Kissed you so good you go weak in the knees |
| Come to see your old man pop |
| I wanna have you there when my big heart stops |
| Don’t you worry, don’t you fret |
| I won’t die with no regrets |
| Oh, the big leagues call and I reply |
| «I got a date with that chair, oh, in late July» |
