Put the needle in my arm,
I'll be dead and gone.
Thank you.
Put that needle in my arm
and I'll be dead and gone.
I would not mind the needle,
I've been on this road so long, oh boy.
I've been all around the world
I've been all the way to Reno
Parts of California
I've been all the way down Ren o
I had some kind of luck,
wish I had not even been born
Oh boy, I've been all around the world
Well, I went up on the signal hill
There I made my stand
I went up on the signal hill
There I made my stand
Bullets in my pockets
A semi -auto in my hand
Oh boy, I've been around the world
So put the needle in my arm
and I'll pretend I'm gone
Put the needle in my arm
and I'll pretend I'm gone
I would not mind the needle
Just laying in the jail so long
before I get out of it all alone
Well, they put me down into the chair
Then I closed my eyes
They put me down into the chair
Then I closed my eyes
Last words that I'll remember
Won't be long before you die
But if I win the war
Put a needle in my arm
I'll pretend I'm gone
Put a needle in my arm
I'll pretend I'm gone
But now I'm lying in the earth
Just laying in the grave for so long
Of what I've been through
in the world
