Here’s a live video for you, performing “I Don’t Wanna Die” at the St Paul Eagle on Nov 19, 2010
(With thanks to Charis for filming this beauty)
Sometimes I see the future in my dreams.
I saw an old man on his death bed. And look! It was me!
A pretty little nurse was checking out my vital signs,
And her eyes got real big when she saw my bed sheet rise.
And I said to her…
I don’t wanna die a lonely old man.
I don’t wanna die a bitter old man.
I don’t wanna die an angry old man.
But please, Lord, let me die a dirty old man
I’ve lived about half of this long old life.
I’ve still got so much to do, but do I still have the time?
If I don’t wake up on the morrow, O, please just let me have
A sweet memory of hot love to take when I pass
O, I pray, Lord…
I don’t wanna die a lonely old man.
I don’t wanna die a bitter old man.
I don’t wanna die an angry old man.
But please, Lord, let me die a dirty old man
The lyrics never really match up to what I’m singin, but what is printed comes directly from my computerized written notes. But you get the idea. –Billy “The Jack”
