well if you live, your time will come, i say if you live, your time will come, so child don't mess with that cotton sack, it's gonna scratch your knees and bend your back, and if you live, your time will come, well if you live, your day will come, i say if you live, your day will come, so child don't play with those pots and pans, they will soon enough ruin your pretty hands, and if you live, your time will come, well if you live, a day will come, if you live, a day will come, when the sun will shine and the crops will grow, and you think you don't have worry no more, if you live, your time will come
