Chorus: Oh Death, now oh Death in the morning Oh Death, Death spare me over for another year
He cried Oh Death (hear him singing) O Death in the morning O Death (please now) spare me over another year
Yeah, Death walked up to the sinner door Said Oh now sinner you got to go The sinner looked around an began to cry Said Oh no Death I'm not ready to die
Oh Death walked up to the sinner's gate Said I believe you have waited now a little too late Your fever now is one hundred and two You have narrow chance that you'll ever pull through
He said I got feets and I can't walk I got a tongue mother and I can't talk I got eyes and I can't see Nothin' but Death has got the shackles on me
Said now gonna fix your feet where you can't walk Fix your tongue so you cannot talk Close your eyes an' you cannot see You got to come now an' go with me
Well Death, consider my age And do not take me in this stage All my wealth is at your command If you just remove your cold icy hand
Oh what is this I see? Cold icy hands all over me Say I am Death no one can excell I open the doors of Death and Hell.
