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 the needle I've just been on this world so long Oh boy, I've been all around the world Been all the way to Reno and parts of Californ' Been all the way down Reno and parts of Californ' Yea I've had some kind of luck, wished I never had been born Oh boy, I've been all around the world Went up on the signal hill there I made my stand Went up on the signal hill and there I made my stand Bullets in my pocket, semi-auto in my hand Oh boy, I've been all around the world So, 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 would not mind the needle just been layin' in the jail so long Oh boy, I've been all around They put me down into the chair and then I closed my eyes They put me down into the chair and then I closed my eyes The last words that I remember: "It won't be long before you die" Oh boy, I've been all around the world So, 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 the needle just been layin' in the grave so long Oh boy, I've been all around the world
