Been All Around the World Lyrics

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
