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 dyin'

And I don't really care.

If it's peace you find in dyin',

Well, then let the time be near.

if it's peace you find in dyin',

When dyin' time is here,

Just bundle up my coffin,

'Cause it's cold way down there...

I hear that it's cold way down there...

Yeah, crazy cold a-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 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 livin',

Only my dyin' will tell...

So only my dyin' will tell...

Yeah, only my dyin' 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 livin'

Is to have no chains on me.

All I ask of livin'

Is to have no chains on me,

And all I ask of dyin'

Is to go naturally.

Only wanna go naturally...

Don't wanna go by the devil,

Don't wanna go by the demon,

Don't wanna go by Satan,

Don't wanna 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...
