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 onI'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 thereAnd when I die and when I'm gone

There'll be one child born and a world to carry on, to carry onMy 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 tellAnd when I die and when I'm gone

There'll be one child born and a world to carry on, to carry onGive 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 naturallyAnd when I die and when I'm gone

There'll be one child born, there'll be one child bornWhen 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
