O Death (Conversation With Death)

Ohh Death, ohh Death
Please spare me over 'till another year

What is this, that I cant see?
With icy hands taking hold of me?

I am Death none can excel
I'll open the door to heaven or hell

Oh Death someone would pray
Could you call some other day?

The children pray, the preacher preach
But time and mercy is out of your reach

Ohh Death, ohh Death
Please spare me over 'till another year

I'll fix your feet so you cant walk
I'll lock your jaws so you cant talk

I'll close your eyes so you cant see
This very eye come and go with me

Death I come to take the soul
I'll leave the body and leave it cold

I'll drop the flesh off of the frame
The Earth and worms both have a claim

Ohh Death, ohh Death
Please spare me over 'till another year

Oh Death consider my age
Please don't take me at this stage

My wealth is all a joking man
If you will move your icy hand

The young, the old, the rich or poor
You're all alike with me you know

No wealth, no land, no silver no gold
Nothing satisfies me but your soul

Ohh Death, ohh Death
Please spare me over 'till another year

Mother come, to my bed
Place a cold towel up on my head

My head is warm, my feet is cold
Death is movin' upon my soul

Ohh Death, how you're treatin' me
You close my eyes so I can't see

You hurt my body, you make me cold
You run my life right outta' my soul

Ohh Death, ohh Death
Please spare me over 'till another year
Ohh Death, ohh Death
Please spare me over 'till another year
