And When I Die

(专辑： More Than A New Discovery - 1967)

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
Said 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
When I die
There'll be one child born
