O death, o death Can you spare me over till another year O death, o death Please spare me over till another year
O death, someone would pray Could you call some other day?
The children prayed, the preacher prayed Time and mercy are out of reach
"I'l fix your feet so you can't walk Lock your jaw so you can't talk
Close your eyes so you can't see This very air comes over with me
Death I come to take the soul Leave the body and leave it cold
To drop the flesh off of the frame The earth and worm both have a claim"
O death, o death Can you spare me over till another year O death, o death Please spare me over till another year
My mother comes to my bed Placed a cold towel upon my head
My head is warm my feet are cold Death is moving upon my soul
O death, how you're treating me You close my eyes so I can't see
You hurt my body, you make me cold You move my life right out of my hand
O death, o death Can you spare me over till another year O death, o death Please spare me over till another year
O death, consider my age Please don't take me at this stage
My wealth is all at your command If you would move your icy hand
"O the young, the rich or poor Are all alike to me you know
No wealth, no land, no silver, no gold Nothing will satisfy but your soul"
But o death, o death Can you spare me over till another year O death, o death Please spare me over till another yearTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
