Oh, death, oh, death,
Em

can't you spare me over till another year?
Em
E
Em
Oh, death, oh, death,
E
please spare me over till an other year?
Em
Oh, if someone would pray,
E
could you call some other day?
Let children pray,
Em
the preachers preach,
E
the time of mercy is out of
your reach.
Em
I'll fix your feet so you can't walk,
E
I'll lock your jaws so you can't talk.
Em
Close your eyes so you can see
E
this very hour come go with me
I'm death
Em
I come to take the soul
E
Em

to leave the body and leave it go
Em
E
Em
Oh, oh, death,
can't you spare me over till
E
an other year?
Oh, death, oh, death,
Em
E
please spare me over till another year.
Oh, mother, come to my bed,
place a cold towel upon my head.
Em
My head is warm but my feet is cold,
E
death is a -movin' upon my soul.
Em
Oh, death, how you're treating me,
E
you've closed my soul, I can't see.
Em
You hurt my body,
you've made me cold,
E
you've moved my life
right out of my soul.
Em
Oh, death, oh, death,
can't you spare me over till
E
an other year?
Oh, death, oh, death,
Em
E
please spare me over till another year
Em
Oh, death, consider my age,
E
please don't take me at this stage
My wealth is all at your command,
if you will move your icy hand
The old, the young,
the rich or poor,
they're all along with me, you know.
Em
No wealth, no land, no silver,
E
no gold,
nothing satisfies me but your soul.
Oh, death, oh, death,
Em
E
will you spare me over till an other year?
Oh, death, oh, death
Can you spare me over till another year?
Oh Death
