When my time comes Put me under the ivy Next to the willow In my parents' garden Let the flowers grow from my body Out in the fields where the children run Oh I won't pay no rent For the land that I'm under I won't feel any pain I won't know any hunger So don't cry for me 'Cause Lord I'm free When my time comes Think of the living Be good to your neighbors And ask for forgiveness I won't be there to share in the struggle Can't get much deeper with axes and shovels But if I don't see ya, know that I loved ya Oh I won't pay no rent For the land that I'm under I won't feel any pain I won't know any hunger So don't cry for me 'Cause Lord I'm free And the rain will fall on the grass outside Where new lovers walk and they take their time And I'll pay no rent I won't pay no rent For the land that I'm under I won't feel any pain I won't know any hunger So don't cry for me 'Cause Lord I'm free And in that long last sleep I'll dream Till my corner of the field turns green
