And When I Die

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

Said 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
