Oh Death...
Oh Death...
Won't you spare me over for another year?
Won't you spare me over for 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.
Oh death, someone will pray,
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 takin' 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 another day?
The children prayed, the preacher preached,
Time and mercy is out of your reach?
I'll fix your feet til you cant walk
I'll lock your jaw til you cant talk
I'll close your eyes so you can't see
This very air, come and go with me.
I'm death I come to take the soul
Leave the body and leave it cold
To draw up the flesh off of the frame
Dirt and worm both have a claim.
Oh, Death...
Oh, Death...
Won't you spare me over til another year?
My mother came to my bed
Placed 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've close my eyes so I can't see
Well you're hurtin' my body
You make me cold
You run my life right outta 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 will move your icy hand.
Oh the young, the rich or poor
Hunger like me you know
No wealth, no ruin, no silver no gold
Nothing satisfies me but your soul.
Oh, death...
Oh, death...
Wont you spare me over til another year?
Wont you spare me over til another year?
Wont you spare me over til another year...
