O Death

O, Death
 O, 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
 O, Death
 O, 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
 O, death
 O, 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
