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
  Oh, 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 the 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
  Oh, 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?
  
  Oh, 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
