O, Death
Ooh death
Whooooah 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 another day
The children prayed the preacher preached
Time and mercy is out of your reach
I'll fix your feet so you can't walk
I'll lock your jaw so you can't talk
I'll close your eyes so you can't see
This very hour come and go with me
Death I come to take your soul
Leave the body and leave it cold
To drop the flesh off the frame
Dirt and worm both have a claim
Ooh death
Whooooah 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 moving upon my soul
Oh death how you treating me
You closed my eyes so I can't see
Well you hurting my body you making 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 will move your icy hands
Oh the young, the rich, or poor
All will like me you know
No wealth no land no silver or gold
Nothing satisfies me but your soul
Ooh death
Whooooah 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?
Whooooah 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 another day
The children prayed the preacher preached
Time and mercy is out of your reach
I'll fix your feet so you can't walk
I'll lock your jaw so you can't talk
I'll close your eyes so you can't see
This very hour come and go with me
Death I come to take your soul
Leave the body and leave it cold
To drop the flesh off the frame
Dirt and worm both have a claim
Ooh death
Whooooah 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 moving upon my soul
Oh death how you treating me
You closed my eyes so I can't see
Well you hurting my body you making 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 will move your icy hands
Oh the young, the rich, or poor
All will like me you know
No wealth no land no silver or gold
Nothing satisfies me but your soul
Ooh death
Whooooah 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?
