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,
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.
