(Verse)
I guess I always thought that I would die before my time
But now I’m eighty-nine
The years flowed by, the beers did to
My friends are gone or dead
I got a dimness in my head

(Chorus)
Please don’t take me to Ludlow
I don’t wanna go
I’d rather die alone

(Verse)
Doctor says to me "you just can’t live here on your own
We gotta put you in a home"
Where everyone takes horse pills
Got a catheter or cane
I know I’d go insane

(Chorus)
Please don’t take me to Ludlow
I don’t wanna go
I’d rather die alone

(Chorus)
Please don’t take me to Ludlow
I don’t wanna go
I’d rather die alone
(Bridge)
Sitting in the day room, getting fed with spoons
Lost in fog and humming tunes

(Verse)
I guess I always thought that I would die before my time
But now I’m eighty…?
