If it's peace, if I'm in dying,
oh well then, let the time be near
If it's peace, if I'm in dying
and the dy ing time is near
cause it's cold way down there, baby
It's cold way down there,
yeah, crazy cold way down there
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
and I pray there ain't no hell
That I'll never know by living,
It's only my dying will tell,
yeah, only my dying will tell
And when I die, and when I'm gone
Give me my freedom for as long as I be
is to have no chains on me
All I ask of livin' is to have
And all I ask of dyin' is to go
just let me go naturally.
And when I die, and when I'm dead,
to carry on, to carry on.
