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 when I die
And when I'm gone
There'll be one child born
And a world to carry on
