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
 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
 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
