Nursinghome Blues

I am an old man living alone
 My loved ones stuck me here in this nursing home
 I've lost all usefulness
 I want to die!
 I gave them all the best years of my life
 Then Maggie passed away, now I've got no wife
 So kill me, young man or hand me your knife
 Cause I want to die!
 My beautiful daughter says I get in the way
 I depress her because I'm old and grey
 She can't stand to see the wrinkles in my skin
 By golly, girl, you're my only kin
 I want to die!
 Like an old horse put out to pasture
 Too old to be of any more use to it's master
 But when I lie in bed and I reminisce
 I begin to think maybe this is best
 I'm out of the way, not in anyone's hair
 And though I'm costing them money, I don't care
 I want to die!
