AND WHEN I DIE:Blood Sweat & Tears.
Top ten in 1969.
INTRO:(slow)
And when I die.....and when I'm dead and gone,
there'll be one..child..born and a world to
carry on.
#1.(Brightly)
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 here,
Just bundle up my coffin, cause it's cold way down there.
I hear that it's cold way down there. Yeah, cra..zy 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.
#2.
My troubles are many, they're as deep as a well.
I can swear there ain't no heaven and I pray
there ain't no hell.
I can swear there ain't no heaven and pray there
ain't no hell,
But I'll never know by living, only my dying will tell.
Only my dying will tell. Only my dying will tell.
CHORUS:
#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.
Only want to go naturally.
Here I go. Hey Hey!
Here comes the devil. Right Behind.
Look out children. Here he comes!
Here he comes! Hey...
#4.
Don't want to go by the devil.
Don't want to go by demon.
Don't want to go by Satan,
Don't want to die uneasy.
Just let me go naturally.
CHORUS:
A sixties smash from Kraziekhat.
