Tears
Blood Sweat Lyrics

木倉谷哲也

Lyrics:

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
Well then, dying time is near
Just bundle up my coffin
'Cause it's cold way down there
I hear that it's
Cold way down there, yeah
Crazy cold, way down there

And when I die, and when I'm gone
There'll be, one child born
In this world
To carry on, to carry on

Now 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
And I'll pray there ain't no hell
But I'll never know by livin'
Only my dyin' will tell, yes, only my dyin' will tell, oh yeah
Only my dyin' will tell

And when I die, and when I'm gone
There'll be, one child born
In this world
To carry on, to carry on
Yeah, yeah

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, only wanna
Go naturally
Here I go!
Hey, hey
Here come the devil
Right behind
Look out, children
Here he come
Here he come, hey-yy

Don't wanna go by the devil
Don't wanna go by the demon
Don't wanna go by Satan
Don't wanna die uneasy
Just let me go
Naturally

And when I die, and when I'm dead
Dead and gone
There'll be
One child born, in our world
To carry on, to carry on
Yeah, yeah

Lou Mon

I love this version of this song and didn't know it was BS&T's! I was only 1 yr old when it came out and it is one of those "oldies" songs I've always like a lot but never knew who sang them. So cool.

Terry Congdon

Fantastic song , Fantastic vocals .

Dewayne Beal

Blood,Sweat and Tears’ And When I Die was their third consecutive number two hit from their second album and the first album to have David Clayton Thomas as lead singer right after two other number two hits that peaked for three weeks each You’ve Made Me So Very Happy in the spring and Spinning Wheel in the summer back in 1969. And When I Die peaked at number two for one week on November 29,1969 right behind the Beatles with their double sided hit Come Together/Something.

Steve Donovan

Always loved that 🎵

panamacitybeachbum

So MUCH talent.

Robert Boney

best rock band of all time.

Keith Lowe

When I think of Lorelei my head goes turning round. As gentle as a butterfly. I move without the sound. I call her on the telephone. Tonight she's moving in. You know it's cold way down there, but their will be one child born in this world to carry on. 😊 All I ask of dying is to go naturally.

I'm a Sissygirl in My Bras & Panties

This song, “And When I Die” was written by Laura Nyro, 1947-1997.

Mike Shea

She was a gem. Eli's Coming was hers too. And the Fifth Dimension covered some of her songs and had hits with them too.

Janice lathon

This Song ❤

Jamie Alaniz

Herd this when was teen never forgot it can't forget it keep on keepen on!😢

Shannon Admonis

Can't believe that my dad actually wants this song to be played at his funeral! Good L9rd!😅😮

s j f

well, it's not really sad. i am old and i like it; it almost seems uplifting. we're all going to die - better to look on it as something like this song feels.

s j f

i still sing this, usually just in my head, after half a century. respect to laura nyro and to DCT. my wife does not approve but then she doesn't approve of much; that could help explain why I'm not scared of dying. i'm also fed up with being old - i used to run long distance, take motorbikes through jungle tracks; smoke some weed now and again... now i meet some old friends sometimes in a local bar; that's about it, except the few good hours when my family visit.

J Smith

Fight the good fight brother

charles stuart

At least you've got a family to come visit, I don't...

R Hughes

I swear there ain't no heaven but pray there ain't no He'll
So profound❤

newyorkayanna

Sweeeeeet!!!

Key Lock

God Bless David he knows the path and where we all are headed for. Saints and sinners alike

TB Player

Best recording of the era!

JC

WRONG

TB Player

@JC Point me to something that was recorded in 1968 and sounds better.

Lester Kitchens

I picked it as a memorial song…I had one son…

Theresa Heibein

My husband's funeral was Thursday July 13/23. This was the song we ended his funeral with... he loved this song and it was the only song appropriate to send him on his journey 😍

s j f

@Theresa Heibein good for you. I'm sure he would have appreciated it but I don't believe we're there. Enough trouble when we're alive. I suppose that's why they say rest in peace. Anyway I enjoyed your comment.
My wife would probably put something by the Monkees or the chipmunks or the laughing policeman.

Nancy Murphy

Rest in Peace ❤

Stonedmeister

Bruce Lee used this song for his funeral

Two Beards

This is the best karaoke song in the world.
I got bought many a beer to stop singing this. Yee Ha!

Pam Mays

😅...to stop singing it...😂 lol! I get treated like that too!!!

Henry J.

The sound of BS&T as well as Chicago (the Buckinghams and others) is due to the producing/arranging skills of James William Guercio. He eventually quit the music biz and became a very successful oil and gas explorer/producer and investor. A great loss (to the music).

E Lane

I have a favorite quote...thought...idea! It's called quilty pleasure. These guys while driving the highway are mine. And I can even sing like him lol! Oncoming traffic gets a show!

jim williams

U gotta hear Leonid & Friends cover "I'll Love You more than You will Ever Know"....Outrageous!!!

Jorge Canizares

Classic ❗️

Paul Henry

Be at peace with your savior, yeehawwe.

Byron Trimm

...and, another great song from Laura Nyro...

Dez Nutz Gaming Channel

Chris Stapleton needs to cover this.

journ neyin

There's a 9l80s metal punk band called Amebix that cover this song. Very different version for sure

Jose Cintron

Stonedmeister

Bruce Lee used this song for his funeral

Mehki

Keith Lowe

Be ready and you know what's going to happen when you die

Keith Lowe

You will be with God

Keith Lowe

Hopefully unless you are going with the devil 👿,but it will not be by yourself. God forbid.

Keith Lowe

I pray there ain't no hell, but only my dying will tell

Keith Lowe

So there will be one child left to carry on

Keith Lowe

If that ain't going naturally what is?

Michael Lee

Yep

Ol Richard RJ

Great tune. Super fun lyrics but poor theology.

Samuel

Swearing there is no heaven is a VERY bad idea! Good rhythm though...

s j f

i don't believe in heaven but, thankfully, i don't believe in hell - so i guess it evens out

cyclist7s

⁠​⁠@s j fwrong!!!… there is a heaven and a hell…no purgatory.. no in between!!! EVERYONE and i mean EVERYONE is going to one place or the other, there’s no getting out of it!!!!!!!! All you have to do is accept jesus as your lord and savior and you’ll go to heaven!!!!!!’😊 lots of people think hell will be a big party..WRONG!!!!!! There wont be any party and there will just be you by yourself in constant agony every second for the rest of eternity!!!!!!!we have all been given a free will to do as we want but there is consequences for EVERY sin!!!!!big ones and even small ones!! Jesus is the answer the truth and the way!! Accept him into your life or suffer the eternal consequences!!!!!!!!!!

Search for the Strangler

@cyclist7s Good grief. Lots of bible thumping but proving nothing.
