Oh Death |
| Oh death |
| Oh death |
| Won’t you spare me over til another year |
| Well what is this that I can’t see |
| With ice cold hands taking hold of me |
| Well I am death none can excel |
| I’ll open the door to heaven or hell |
| Whoa death someone would pray |
| Could you wait to call me til another day |
| The children pray the preacher preached |
| Time and mercy is out of your reach |
| I’ll fix your feet til you can’t walk |
| I’ll lock your jaw til you can’t talk |
| I’ll close your eyes so you can’t see |
| This very hour come and go with me |
| In death I come to take the soul |
| Leave the body and leave it cold |
| To drop the flesh off of the frame |
| The earth and worms both have a claim |
| Oh death |
| Oh death |
| Won’t you spare me over til another year |
| My mother came to my bed |
| Place a cold towel upon my head |
| My head is warm my feet are cold |
| Death is a movin upon my soul |
| Oh death how you’re treatin me |
| You close my eyes so I can’t see |
| Well you’re hurtin my body you make me cold |
| You run my life right out of my soul |
| Oh death please consider my age |
| Please don’t take me at this stage |
| My wealth is all at your command |
| If you’ll remove your icy hands |
| Oh the young the rich or poor |
| All alike to me you know |
| No wealth no land no silver or gold |
| Nothin satisfies my but your soul |
| Oh death |
| Oh death |
| Won’t you spare me over til another year |
| Won’t you spare me over til another year |
| Won’t you spare me over til another year |
