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 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
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
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
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
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
