I watched her walk alone one day
She sang so merry on her way
There we met, that morn in May
The birds did sing, the lambs did play

She asked me how I came to be
So grey you are, as the clay, said she
More ancient than the rowan tree
Tell me true, if this witchcraft be

My name is Death, so old am I
The world was born before my eyes
All bow to me, all must forsake
Death is my name and you I'll take ….
First half of chorus repeats
…So you I'll take

She said she'd give me em'ralds rare
She said she'd give fine robes to wear
She said all this and more were fair
If I would give her time to spare
Lady, you have caused much strife
Your husband poisoned by his wife
Your babe is slain by your own knife
You cannot bribe me for your life

My name is Death, so old am I
The world was born before my eyes
All bow to me, all must forsake
Death is my name and you I'll take ….
First half of chorus repeats
…So you I'll take

My name is Death, so cold am I
None shall escape my icy scythe
All take my hand, all ends with me
Death is my name, I'll set you free

My name is Death, so cold am I
None shall escape my icy scythe
All take my hand, all ends with me
Death is my name, I'll set you free

My name is Death, so cold am I
None shall escape my icy scythe
All take my hand, all ends with me
Death is my name, I'll set you free

… And now you're free
