oh, death
oh, death
won’t you spare me over ’til another year?

what is this that i can’t see?
with ice-cold hands takin’ hold of me
well, i am death, none can excel
i open the door to heaven or h-ll

oh, death
oh, death
won’t you spare me over ’til another year?

i’ll rattle your tongue ’til you can’t talk
i’ll step on your limbs ’til you can walk
i’ll blind you eyes ’til you can’t see
this very hour, come go with me

oh, death
oh, death
won’t you spare me over ’til another year?

oh death, how you’re treatin’ me
you’re blindin’ my eyes ’til i can’t see
you stiffen my limbs, makin’ me cold
run my body right out of my soul

oh, death
whoa, 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?

[additional verses, not included in this recording:]
i’ll fix your feet ’til you can’t walk
i’ll lock your jaw ’til you can’t talk
i’ll close your eyes so you can’t see
this very hour, come and go with me

this is 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 worms both have a claim

my mother came to my bed
placed a cold towel upon my head
my head is warm, my feet are cold
death is a-movin’ upon my soul

oh death, how you’re treatin’ me
you closed my eyes so i can’t see
well, you’re hurtin’ my body, you make me cold
you run my life right out of my soul

oh death, please consider my age
please don’t take me at this stage
my wealth is all at your command
if you will move your icy hand

oh the young, the rich or poor
all alike me, you know
no wealth, no land, no silver, no gold
nothin’ satisfies me but your soul

oh death
whoa, death
won’t you spare me over till another year?
won’t you spare me over till another year?
won’t you spare me over till another year?
