| 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 will scratch your knees and bend your back
|
| And if you live your time will come
|
| If you live your day will come
|
| If you live your day will come
|
| So child don’t play with those pots an' pans
|
| The will soon enough ruin your pretty hands
|
| And if you live your time will come
|
| 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’re not gonna worry no more
|
| But if you live, your time will come |
