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

I won't pay no rent
For the land that I'm under
I won't feel any pain
I won't know of 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 neighbor and ask for forgiveness
I won't be there to share in the struggle
Can't get much deeper with axes and shovеls
But if I don't see ya know that I love ya

I won't pay no rent
For the land that I'm undеr
I won't feel any pain
I won't know of any hunger
So don't cry for me
Cause lord I'm free

And the rain will fall on the grass outside
When the love birds 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 of any hunger
So don't cry for me
Cause lord I'm free

And in that long last sleep of dreams
'Til my corner of the field turns green
