I Will Be There When You Die
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
joe was born in new york city, son of paul and catherine.
always down and always out,
but his morrows always seemed jus' fine.
there will be bigotry and there will be open minds.
there will be days of peace you'll never have the time.
AS LONG AS YOU KEEP A STRAIGHT FACE,
i will be there when you die
i was born in east kentucky, home of where the grass is dyed.
always down and always out,
but my 'morrows always seemed just fine.
there will be bigotry and there will be open minds.
there will be days of peace you'll never have the time.
as long as you keep a straight face,
i will be there when you die.
