Peter, Paul and Mary — And When I Die

[Chorus] And when I die and when I'm dead, dead and gone There'll be one child born and a world to carry on There'll be one child born to carry on [Verse 1] 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 If it's peace you find in dyin', when dyin' time is here Just bundle up my coffin, 'cause it's cold way down there [Chorus] And when I die (And when I die) and when I'm gone There'll be one child born and a world to carry on There'll be one child born to carry on [Verse 2] My troubles are many, they're 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, pray there ain't no hell But I'll never know by livin', only my dyin' will tell Only my dyin' will tell [Chorus] And when I die (And when I die) and when I'm gone There'll be one child born and a world to carry on There'll be one child born to carry on [Verse 3] 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 I only wanna go naturally [Chorus] And when I die (And when I die) and when I'm gone There'll be one child born and a world to carry on There'll be one child born to carry on Comin' as I go, and a world to carry on There'll be one child born to carry on
