And When I Die Lyrics By Blood Sweat Tears

    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
    well then dying time is near
    just bundle up my coffin
    cause it’s
    cold way down there
    i hear that 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
    in this world
    to carry on to carry on

    now troubles are many
    there’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 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 oh yeah
    only my dyin’ will tell

    yeehaw

    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 only wanna
    go naturally

    here i go hah
    hey hey
    here come the devil
    right behind
    look out children here he come
    here he come hey

    don’t wanna go by the devil
    don’t wanna go by the demon
    don’t wanna go by satan
    don’t wanna die uneasy
    just let me go
    naturally

    and when i die and when i’m dead
    dead and gone
    there’ll be
    one child born in our world
    to carry on to carry on
