Nursing Home Blues lyrics Lyrics

song lyrics Nursing Home Blues lyrics 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 song lyrics
