If You Live

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'll 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 to worry no more

But if you live, your time will come
