And When I Die

Laura Nyro

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

Just bundle up my coffin

'Cause its 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 deep as a well

I 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

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 all I ask of dyin'

Is to go naturally

And when I die

And when I'm gone

There'll be one child born

And a world to carry on
