[Verse 1]
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
When dying time is near
Just bundle up my coffin
'Cause it's cold way down there

[Chorus]
And when I die
And when I'm gone
There'll be one child born
And a world to carry on, to carry on

[Verse 2]
My troubles are many
They're as deep as a well
I can't swear there ain't no heaven
But I pray there ain't no hell
I can't wеar there ain't no heavеn
And I pray there ain't no hell
But I'll never know by living
Only my dying will tell
[Chorus]
And when I die
And when I'm gone
There'll be one child born
And a world to carry on, to carry on

[Dobro Solo]

[Verse 3]
Give me my freedom
For as long as I be
All I ask of living
Is to have no chains on me
All I ask of living
Is to have no chains on me
And all I ask of dying
Is to go naturally

[Chorus]
And when I die
And when I'm gone
There'll be one child born
And a world to carry on, to carry on

[Outro]
Don't want to go by the devil
Don't want to go by the demon
Don't want to go by Satan
Don't want to die uneasy
Don't want to go by the devil
Don't want to go by the demon
Don't want to go by Satan
Don't want to die uneasy
Just let me go naturally
Don't want to go by the devil
Don't want to go by the demon
Don't want to go by Satan
Don't want to die uneasy
Don't want to go by the devil
Don't want to go by the demon
Don't want to go by Satan
Don't want to die uneasy
Just let me go naturally
Don't want to go by the devil
Don't want to go by the demon
Don't want to go by Satan
Don't want to die uneasy
Don't want to go by the devil
Don't want to go by the demon
Don't want to go by Satan
Don't want to die uneasy
Just let me go naturally
Don't want to go by the devil
Don't want to go by the demon
Don't want to go by Satan
Don't want to die uneasy
Don't want to go by the devil
Don't want to go by the demon
Don't want to go by Satan
Don't want to die uneasy
Just let me go naturally
