Pay No Rent - Delta Rae

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

I won’t pay no rent

For the land that I’m under

I won’t feel any pain

I won’t know of any hunger

So don’t cry for me

Cause lord I’m free

When my time comes think of the living

Be good to your neighbor and ask for forgiveness

I won’t be there to share in the struggle

Can’t get much deeper with axes and shovels

But if I don’t see ya know that I love ya

I won’t pay no rent

For the land that I’m under

I won’t feel any pain

I won’t know of any hunger

So don’t cry for me

Cause lord I’m free

And the rain will fall on the grass outside

When the love birds walk and they take their time

And I’ll pay no rent

I won’t pay no rent

For the land that I’m under

I won’t feel any pain

I won’t know of any hunger

So don’t cry for me

Cause lord I’m free

And in that long last sleep of dreams

'Til my corner of the field turns green
