I'm not scared of dyin' and I don't really care
If it's peace you find in dyin', let the dyin' time be near
If it's peace you find in dyin', let the dyin' time be near
Well, bundle up my coffin, cause it's cold way down there
Yeah, it's 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
There'll be one child born to carry on
My troubles are plenty and they're 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 pray there ain't no hell
But I'll never know by livin', only my dyin' will tell
Only my dyin' will tell
Only my dyin'
My dyin' will tell
And when I'm dead, and when I'm gone
There'll be one child born in this world to carry on, to carry on
There'll be one child born to carry on
Give me my freedom, boys, 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
You know I wanna go naturally
You know I wanna go naturally
And when I die, and when I'm gone
There'll be one child born in this world to carry on, to carry on
There'll be one child born to carry on
