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 sure enough break and bend your back
I say 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 mess with those pots and pans
They gonna sure enough ruin your pretty hands
I say if you live 
Your day will come
Well if you live
A day will come
I say if you live
A day will come
When the sun don't shine and the cotton don't grow
And you think that you never gonna worry no more
I say if you live
Your time will come
