Oh, Death Oh, Death Wont you spare me over til another year? What is this that I cant see? With icecold hands takin hold of me Well, I am Death, none can excel I open the door to heaven or hell Oh, Death Oh, Death Wont you spare me over til another year? Ill rattle your tongue til you cant talk Ill step on your limbs til you can walk Ill blind you eyes til you cant see This very hour, come go with me Oh, Death Oh, Death Wont you spare me over til another year? Oh Death, how youre treatin me Youre blindin my eyes til I cant see You stiffen my limbs, makin me cold Run my body right out of my soul Oh, Death Whoa, 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? [Additional verses, not included in this recording] Ill fix your feet til you cant walk Ill lock your jaw til you cant talk Ill close your eyes so you cant see This very hour, come and go with me This is 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 My mother came to my bed Placed a cold towel upon my head My head is warm, my feet are cold Death is amovin upon my soul Oh Death, how youre treatin me You closed my eyes so I cant see Well, youre hurtin my body, you make me cold You run my life right out of my soul Oh Death, please consider my age Please dont 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 All alike me, you know No wealth, no land, no silver, no gold Nothin satisfies me but your soul Oh Death Whoa, Death Wont you spare me over till another year? Wont you spare me over till another year? Wont you spare me over till another year?
