O, Death. O, Death. Won't you spare me over 'til another year?
Well, what is this that I can't see With ice cold hands with a hold on me Well I am death, none can excel I'll open your door to heaven or hell 'O, death' if someone would pray 'Could you wait and take me another day?' The children prayed, the preacher preached But life is now out of your reach
O, Death. O, Death. Won't you spare me over 'til another year?
My wealth is all at your command If you will just remove your cold hand No money or wealth, no silver or gold I seek nothing but your soul
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 I am Death, come go with me I am Death, none can excel I'll open your door to heaven or hell
O, Death. O, 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?
