I'll Go Alone

Muskets aimed right at my head
It's just our job to do they said
"Have you anything to say"
The 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 feel 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, I 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"
The 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
