Lyrics

[Intro] Bubububabo gold digger took my money Dipped my heart and hands in honey Oh snake Lady done stole my savings Told gold digger she was having my babies Well, gold digger swung, snake lady fell over I took Gold Digger up to Chapel Hill Well I married her fast, murdered her young Took my money back and made my run Well bus driver, old and grey Yeah, go pull this bus over and end up dead Yeah go drive this bus down to Mexico Oh park it on a cliff where that good grass grows Till a chopper came along one sunny day Oh, to burn my crops, lock me away Bеcause I'm eager, young and qualifiеd I got a date with that chair, oh, in late July [Spoken] Distinguished ladies and gentlemen of the jury My explanation is very simple [Verse 1] Bubububabo gold digger took my money Dipped my heart and hands in honey Snake Lady stole my savings Told gold digger she was having my babies Gold digger swung, snake lady fell Took Gold Digger up to Chapel Hill Married her fast, murdered her young Took my money, made my run [Verse 2] Bubububabo bus driver, all in red Pull the bus over and end up dead Yeah drive the whole bus down to Mexico Oh park it on a cliff where the good grass grows Chopper came along one sunny day Burnt my crops, locked me away I'm eager, young and bonified Got a date with the chair in late July [Verse 3] Budubudabo my mama, old and grey Sittin' on-a-porch just weepin' away Her only son washed down the drain Gonna take her boy and lock him away Well, mama should be proud of me I lived like a man, I'll die like a king I'm sober, smug and glorified Got a date with the devil in late July [Verse 4] Well my pappi, drunk and fatty Chewin his cigar with his hair slicked back Yeah, roll him over, beat him black Say it's from his son he never had Daddy should be in my place To fry like bacon, hang like lace I'm ready to be cooked alive Got a date with the debts in late July [Instrumental] [Verse 5] Budubudabo bartender my best friend Kept them coming till' the very end Well I paid my tab with a big ol' hug Gave me back with a loaded gun I've been stabbed a couple times I've paid my dues and petty crimes When the big leagues call then I replied I got a date with god in late July [Verse 6] Bubububabo Big Betty, my old squeeze Kiss you so good, you go weak in the knees Come and see your old man pop I wanna have her there, when my big heart stops Don't you worry, don't you fret Oh I won't die with no regrets I'm simple, plain and starry eyed I got a date with that chair in late July
