If You Live

If You Live - Mose Allison

Written by：Rr/Mose Allison

Aware 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 will scratch your knees and bend your back

And if you live your time will come

Aware if you live your time will come

I say if you live your day will come

So child don't play with those pots an' pans

The will soon enough ruin your pretty hands

And if you live your time will come

Aware if you live a day will come

I say if you live a day will come

When the sun will shine

And the crops will grow

And you think you're not gonna worry no more

But if you live your time will come

Your time will come
