Alone - Ghost of the Robot

Well I alone in Averenth

With my lady by my side

After wars I left her

And now she’s come to watch me die

She’s a flower in the sun

Now she’s crawlin' through the mud

‘Cause a me, 'cause a me

My heart was sick, from killin' Injuns

With their babies in their beds.

I refused but my General

Put his gun up to my head.

I wanted to come home

So Abby wouldn’t live alone

So I killed, burned them down

I woke up, cold dark morning

Saw a face in the mirror

Realized what I was bringing home

Wasn’t worth bringing anymore.

I tried to heal my sores

With robbin', whisky and whores

Didn’t work.

I was still bad

Sheriff — put the noose right around me

Pull it tightly, snap my neck

Don’t want my love to see me strangle

When my soul’s all blown to heck

So I’m alone in Averenth

With my lady watchin' me die

I don’t know if I could bear it

To see poor Abby cry one more time.
