Escrita
por John Lennon, mas creditada à dupla Lennon/McCartney, foi
composta na Índia, gravada em 13 de agosto de 1968 e lançada no
Album Branco em 22 de novembro de 1968.
John
disse que enquanto queria encontrar Deus e estava tendo pensamentos
suicídas, ele quis escrever um blues. Ele faz alusão à
insegurança, falando em Mr. Jones, da música de Bob Dylan Ballad of
a thin man.
John
cantou, fez backing vocals e tocou guitarra solo. Paul tocou baixo e
gritou. George Harrison tocou guitarra solo. Ringo tocou bateria.
A letra:
Yes, I'm lonely
Want to die
Yes, I'm lonely
Want to die
If I ain't dead already
Oh, girl, you know the reason why
Want to die
Yes, I'm lonely
Want to die
If I ain't dead already
Oh, girl, you know the reason why
In the morning
Want to die
In the evening
Want to die
If I ain't dead already
Oh, girl, you know the reason why
Want to die
In the evening
Want to die
If I ain't dead already
Oh, girl, you know the reason why
My mother was of the sky
My father was of the earth
But I am of the universe
And you know what it's worth
My father was of the earth
But I am of the universe
And you know what it's worth
I'm lonely
Want to die
If I ain't dead already
Oh, girl, you know the reason why
Want to die
If I ain't dead already
Oh, girl, you know the reason why
The eagle picks my eye
The worm he licks my bone
I feel so suicidal
Just like Dylan's Mr. Jones
The worm he licks my bone
I feel so suicidal
Just like Dylan's Mr. Jones
Lonely
Want to die
If I ain't dead already
Oh, girl, you know the reason why
Want to die
If I ain't dead already
Oh, girl, you know the reason why
Black cloud crossed my mind
Blue mist round my soul
Feel so suicidal
Even hate my rock and roll
Blue mist round my soul
Feel so suicidal
Even hate my rock and roll
Want to die
Yeah, want to die
If I ain't dead already
Oh, girl, you know the reason why
Yeah, want to die
If I ain't dead already
Oh, girl, you know the reason why
