And When I Die

And when I die and when I'm gone

And when I die and when I'm gone
When I die
When I die
When I die

My troubles are many, they're as deep as a well
If it's peace you find in dying, well, then let the time be near
Only my dying will tell, yeah, only my dying will tell
Just bundle up my coffin 'cause it's cold way down there
Don't want to go by Satan, don't want to die uneasy
All I ask of living is to have no chains on me
I can swear there ain't no heaven but I pray there ain't no hell
There'll be one child born

All I ask of living is to have no chains on me
There'll be one child born and a world to carry on, to carry on
There'll be one child born, there'll be one child born
I hear that's it's cold way down there, yeah, crazy cold way down there
Just let me go naturally
There'll be one child born
There'll be one child born and a world to carry on, to carry on
When I die
Don't want to go by the devil, don't want to go by the demon
And when I die and when I'm gone
But I'll never know by living, only my dying will tell
I'm not scared of dying and I don't really care
There'll be one child born
If it's peace you find in dying, when dying time is here
Swear there ain't no heaven and pray there ain't no hell
Give me my freedom for as long as I be
When I die
And all I ask of dying is to go naturally, only want to go naturally
There'll be one child born
