lyrics

Oh Death
Oh Death, won't you spare me over
For another year?

Oh Death
Oh Death, won't you spare me over
For another year?

Mother came unto my bed
Placed a towel upon my head
My head is warm, my feet are cold
Death is moving upon my soul

Oh Death
Oh Death, won't you spare me over
For another year?

Oh Death
Oh Death, won't you spare me over
For another year?

Oh the young, the rich, the poor
Makes no difference who you are
No wealth, no land, no silver, no gold
Nothing satisfies but your soul

Oh Death
Oh Death, won't you spare me over
For another year?

Oh Death
Oh Death, won't you spare me over
For another year?

Oh Death, how you're treating me
Close my eyes so I can't see
You hurt my body, you make me cold
You run my life right out of my soul

Oh Death, keep your hands off my chest
And I keep waiting for one final breath
I know I may not pass this test
But oh Death, oh Death, oh Death
Death, Death, Death!

Oh Death, I raise my eyes to the sky
Give me great feathered wings to fly
But please, now is not my time to die
So oh Death, oh Death, oh Death
Death, Death, Death!
