verse 1 Verse Jackie's just 17, and hard to please She steps on the scene, like a gypsy queen. And she's looking at everybody, with a secret smile She got a black tattoo on her body And it says "When I die, yeah, you know I'll be ready to go" "When I die, yeah, you know I'll be ready to go" "When I die, yeah, you know I'll be ready to go" "When I die, yeah, you know I'll be ready to go" "When I die, yeah, you know I'll be ready to go" "When I die, yeah, you know I'll be ready to go" "When I die, yeah, you know I'll be ready to go" Instrumental: verse 2 You don't know what she's seen, or where she's been But you catch her eye, and it makes you freeze And she's looking at everybody, with a secret smile She got a black tattoo on her body And it says "When I die, yeah, you know I'll be ready to go" "When I die, yeah, you know I'll be ready to go" "When I die, yeah, you know I'll be ready to go" "When I die, yeah, you know I'll be ready to go" "When I die, yeah, you know I'll be ready to go" "When I die, yeah, you know I'll be ready to go" "When I die, yeah, you know I'll be ready to go" Bridge The devil's dancing toe to toe When the reaper comes, I'll be ready to go The devil's dancing toe to toe When the reaper comes, I'll be ready to go The devil's dancing toe to toe When the reaper comes, I'll be ready to go "When I die, yeah, you know I'll be ready to go" "When I die, yeah, you know I'll be ready to go" "When I die, yeah, you know I'll be ready to go" "When I die, yeah, you know I'll be ready to go" "When I die, yeah, you know I'll be ready to go" "When I die, yeah, you know I'll be ready to go" "When I die, yeah, you know I'll be ready to go"
