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 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 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 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 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 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
