Lyrics for If You Live

A 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 A 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 gonna soon enough ruin your pretty hands And if you live, your time will come A well, if you live A day will come I say if you live A day will come And when the sun will shine and the crops will grow And you think that you not gonna worry no more But if you live, your time will come Your time will come
