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
