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 have 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 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
