If You Live Lyrics - Mose Allison Sings - Mose Allison

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 

If you live your day will come 

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 

If you live a day will come 

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
