[Intro]
(When I die and when I'm and gone
There'll be one child born in this world to carry on, to carry on)
[Verse 1]
Well, I'm not scared of dying, 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 dying, if dying is near
Just bundle up my coffin, 'cause it's cold way down there
I hear it's cold down there, yeah
Pretty cold way down there
[Chorus]
And when I die and when I'm gone
There'll be onе child born in this world to carry on, to carry on
[Verse 2]
Oh, my troubles, they are many, thеy're as deep as a well
I can swear there ain't no heaven, but I'll pray there ain't no hell
I could swear there ain't no heaven, and I'll pray there ain't no hell
But I'll never know by livin', only my dyin' will tell
Yes, only my dyin' will tell, yeah
Only my dying will tell
[Chorus]
And when I die, and when I'm gone
There'll be one child born in this world to carry on, to carry on
[Bridge]
Oh, here I go
Here come the devil
Right behind me, ay
Look out, George
Here comes the boy
[Verse 3]
Give me my freedom as long as I'll be
All I ask of livin' is to have no chains on me
All I ask of dyin' is to go naturally
Don't wanna go by the devil
Only wanna go naturally, yeah, go naturally
[Chorus]
And when I die, and when I'm gone
There'll be one child born in this world to carry on, to carry on
[Outro
(When I die, when I'm gone)
(When I die, when I'm gone)
(When I die, when I'm gone)
(When I die, when I'm gone)
(When I die and when I'm and gone
There'll be one child born in this world to carry on, to carry on)
[Verse 1]
Well, I'm not scared of dying, 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 dying, if dying is near
Just bundle up my coffin, 'cause it's cold way down there
I hear it's cold down there, yeah
Pretty cold way down there
[Chorus]
And when I die and when I'm gone
There'll be onе child born in this world to carry on, to carry on
[Verse 2]

Yes, only my dyin' will tell, yeah
Only my dying will tell
