Put the needle in my arm
And I'll be dead and gone
Put the needle in my arm
And I'll be dead and gone
I wouldn't mind a needle
I've just been on this road so long, oh boy
Been all a round the world
Verse 2:
--------
Been all the way to Reno and parts of Cali forn
Been all the way down Reno and parts of Cali forn
I had some kind of luck there
Wished I never had been born, oh boy
Been all a round the world
Verse 3:
--------
I went upon the signal hill
And there I made my stand
I went upon the signal hill
And there I made my stand
Bullets in my pocket
Semi- auto in my hand, oh boy
Been all a round the world
Verse 4:
--------
Put the needle in my arm
And I'll be dead and gone
Put the needle in my arm
And I'll be dead and gone
I wouldn't mind a needle
Just a- lying in a jail so long, oh boy
Been all a round the world
Verse 5:
--------
Put me down into the chair
And then I close my eyes
They put me down in to the chair
Then I closed my eyes
Last words that I re member
Won't be long before you die, oh boy
Been all a round the world
Verse 6:
--------
Put the needle in my arm
And I'll be dead and gone
Put the needle in my arm
And I'll be dead and gone
I wouldn't mind a needle
Just a- lying in a grave so long...
Been all a round the world
