And When I Die

Lyrics

And when I die and when I'm dead, dead and gone
 There'll be one child born and a world to carry on, to carry on
 I'm not scared of dying and I don't really care
 If it's peace you find in dying, well, then let the time be near
 If it's peace you find in dying, when dying time is here
 Just bundle up my coffin 'cause it's cold way down there
 I hear that's it's cold way down there, yeah, crazy cold way down there
 And when I die and when I'm gone
 There'll be one child born and a world to carry on, to carry on
 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 and pray there ain't no hell
 But I'll never know by living, only my dying will tell
 Only my dying will tell, yeah, only my dying will tell
 And when I die and when I'm gone
 There'll be one child born and a world to carry on, to carry on
 Give me my freedom for as long as I be
 All I ask of living is to have no chains on me
 All I ask of living is to have no chains on me
 And all I ask of dying is to go naturally, only want to go naturally
 Don't want to go by the devil, don't want to go by the demon
 Don't want to go by Satan, don't want to die uneasy
 Just let me go naturally
 And when I die and when I'm gone
 There'll be one child born, there'll be one child born
 When I die
 There'll be one child born
 When I die
 There'll be one child born
 When I die
 There'll be one child born
 When I die
 There'll be one child born
 When I die
 There'll be one child born
