 (slow)
And  when I die.....and  when I'm dead  and gone,
 there'll be one..child..born  and a world  to
 carry on.
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.
And  when I die, and  when I'm gone,
 there'll be one child born
 and a world  to carry on, to carry on.
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.
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...
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.
 A sixties smash from Kraziekhat.
