Refrain:
|
And when I die, and when I'm dead, dead and gone,
|
There'll be one child born and a world to carry on,
|
There'll be one child born to carry on.
|
|
I'm not scared of dyin' and I don't really care
|
If it's peace you find in dyin', well, then let the time be near;
|
If it's peace you find in dying, when dyin' time is here,
|
Just bundle up my coffin, cause it's cold way down there.
|
|
(Refrain)
|
|
My troubles are many, they're as deep as a well,
|
I can swear there ain't no heaven, but I pray there ain't no hell.
|
Swear there ain't no heaven, pray there ain't no hell,
|
But I'll never know by livin', only my dyin' will tell
|
Only my dyin' will tell.
|
|
(Refrain)
|
|
Give me my freedom, for as long as I be,
|
All I ask of livin' is to have no chains on me.
|
All I ask I of livin' is to have no chains on me,
|
And all I ask of dyin' is to go naturally
|
I only wanna go naturally.
|
|
And when I die, and when I'm gone,
|
There'll be one child born and a world to carry on,
|
There'll be one child born to carry on.
|
Comin' as I go, and a world to carry on.
|
There'll be one child born to carry on.
