Refrain:
And when I die, and when Im dead, dead and gone,
Therell be one child born and a world to carry on,
Therell be one child born to carry on.
Im not scared of dyin and I dont really care
If its peace you find in dyin, well, then let the time be near;
If its peace you find in dying, when dyin time is here,
Just bundle up my coffin, cause its cold way down there.
(refrain)
My troubles are many, theyre as deep as a well,
I can swear there aint no heaven, but I pray there aint no hell.
Swear there aint no heaven, pray there aint no hell,
But Ill 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 Im gone,
Therell be one child born and a world to carry on,
Therell be one child born to carry on.
Comin as I go, and a world to carry on.
Therell be one child born to carry on.
