David Allan Coe
Death Row
[Intro]
Sittin' here on death row
Behind a ton of steel
They say before I die
I gotta eat my last meal

[Verse 1]
I wanna double yolked egg from a albino pigeon with fried bat wings over easy
The left hind leg of a black giraffe cooked medium rare, not too greasy
Smoked rhinoceros, pickled anteaters a plate of elephant stew
One mandrake root and a rabbit's tongue and a jaw of cockaroo

[Chorus]
Oh, Warden!
Now you know how I feel!
I'll be ready to die now
Just as soon as I eat my last meal!
I hear ya!

[Verse 2]
I want fresh teardrops from a newborn child in a glass made in Timbuktu
If you can't get that, try a stewed polecat smothered with catfish brew
Take the ears from a rattailed monkey mixed with a spider's left eye
And make me a salad of jungle roots, and I'll be ready to die!

[Chorus]
Oh, Warden!
Now you know how I feel!
I'll be ready to die now
Just as soon as I eat my last meal!
