David Allan Coe - Death Row [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[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!
