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
And when I die
and when I`m gone
there`ll be one child born
and a world to carry on
My troubles are many
they`re as deep as a well
I swear there ain`t no heaven
and 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
And when I die
and when I`m gone
there`ll be one child born
and a world 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
And when I die
and when I`m gone
there`ll be one child born
and a world to carry on
