Muskets aimed right at my head It's just our job to do they said Have you anything to say A preacher whispered and swayed Why a man in a checked shirt shot him down on the ground Tell the dream I have all alone And I know when I go I'll go alone You make me fell like I am What I am I seem much older than then But I'm young, why feel down My eyes are closed I cannot speak Though I hear you talk to me Where's a man I saw dead cold I'll count ten and make sure Here I am with my hands bound in a plane going down fast Tell the dream I have all alone
And I know when I go I'll go alone Where can I find you to tell you the truth I'll raise a flag of white satin brocade Why feel down Muskets aimed right at my head I closed my eyes there in my bed People talk and I don't hear a word All that they say I can say with a nod Why feel down The captain cried out to his mate That man has had his time don't wait Have you anything to say A preacher whispered and swayed Why a man in a checked shirt shot him down on the ground Tell the dream I have all alone And I know when I go I'll go alone
