Lyrics for Nursing Home 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!
