Pay No Rent
[Verse]
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
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, oh, oh-oh-oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh-oh-oh, oh
[Chorus]
I won’t pay no rent
For the land that I'm under
I won't feel any pain
I won’t know any hunger
So don't cry for me
'Cause, Lord, I'm free
[Verse]
When my time comes, think of the living
Be good to your neighbors, and ask for forgiveness
I won't be there to share in the struggle
Can't get much deeper with axes and shovеls
And if I don't see ya, know that I loved ya
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, oh, oh-oh-oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh-oh-oh, oh
[Chorus]
I won't pay no rent
For the land that I’m undеr
I won’t feel any pain
I won't know any hunger
So don’t cry for me
'Cause, Lord, I'm free
[Bridge]
And the rain will fall on the grass outside
Where new lovers walk and they take their time
And I'll pay no rent
[Chorus]
I won’t pay no rent
For the land that I'm under
I won't feel any pain
I won't know any hunger
So don't cry for me
'Cause, Lord, I'm free
And in that long last sleep I'll dream
'Til my corner of the field turns green
