It’s been too hard living, but I’m afraid to die. ‘Cause I don’t know what’s up there, beyond the sky.

I was born by the river, in a little tent, and just like the river I've been running ever since.

There been times when I thought I couldn't last for long But now I think I'm able to carry on It's been a long, been a long time coming But I know a change is gonna come, oh yes it will

Another Saturday night and I ain't got nobody.

You know, I'll always be your slave 'til I'm buried, buried in my grave.

It was something I enjoyed doing and decided to give it a couple years, though I'm not making a lot of money now either!
