h, 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
Oh Death, someone would pray
Could you wait to call me another day
The children pray [that the preacher preach]
[the column embassy is out of your reach]
I'll fix your feet 'til you can walk
I'll lock your jaw 'til you can talk
I'll close your eyes so you can see
This very hour come and go with me
I am Death, I've come to take your soul
And leave a body, and I'll leave it cold
Draw the flesh up off the frame
And dirt and worms will go and have their claim
Oh, Death, Oh Death
Won't you spare me over 'til another year
Oh, Death, Oh Death
Won't you spare me over 'til another year
My mother came to my bed
And placed a cold towel upon my head
My head is warm, my feet are cold
And death is moving upon his own
Oh Death, how you are treating me
You've closed my eyes so I can see
And you hurt my body and made me cold
You run my life but I have no soul
Oh Death, please consider my haste
Please don't take me out at this stage
My wealth is all at your command
If you remove your icy hand
The old the young the rich the poor
[Like to me you should know]
No wealth no land no silver no gold
Nothing satisfies me but your soul
Oh, Death, Oh Death
Won't you spare me over 'til another year
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
