If sweet Death should ever conquer me Let me know, boys, let me know If you hear him coming, won't you let me flee? Let me go, boys, let me go
One day Death is going to conquer me I'll be down where the waters flow I hope sweet Heaven has a place for me Let me know, boys, let me know
If sweet Death should ever conquer me Take me down to some place below If you hear him coming, won't you set me free? Let me go, boys, let me go If you hear him coming, won't you say for me That I just don't want to go
