| "When my death comes" (Rhyming) Version: #1 A leaf of green, under the sun, I crave death, but death does not come I crave life, but have no one To share life with, there is no one. Leaf of green, and tulip flower, When comes that fateful hour Call the one whom I adore And I’ll die gazing up at her With her hand beneath my head She’ll ask me what has caused my death. And I’ll have her promise me To bury me so very deep In my last resting place That my corpse will waste For eight years past my decease, And my foes will be appeased. | WHEN MY DEATH COMES Green leaf, Maybush I’d like to die, but death doesn’t come to me I’d like to live and I don’t have anyone to live with I’d like to live and I don’t have anyone to live with Green leaf and a tulip When my death comes Call my sweetheart So that I’ll die with my eyes raised up to her So that she’ll lay her hand underneath my head And she’ll ask me why I’m dying. And that I’ll leave her under oath, To bury me, To dig me a deep grave So that I won’t putrify soon So that I’ll putrify after eight years To satisfy the ennemies |
