And When I Die

Blood Sweat And Tears · Blood, Sweat & Tears [1969]

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 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



And when I die, and when I'm gone

there'll be, one child born, in this world

to carry on, to carry on

yeah yeah



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 natrually, only wanna

go naturally

Here I go!

hey hey

Here come the devil

right behind

look out children, here he come

here he come, heyyy



Don't wanna go by the devil

don't wanna go by the demon

don't wanna go by satan

don't wann 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
