Oh Death

My name is death and none can excel
I can open the gates to heaven or hell
I can cast aside the flesh of day
Cast it aside and set you free

Oh, death
Oh, death
Can't you spare me over till another year

Oh, death
Oh, death
Can't you spare me over till another year

I lock their jaw so they can't talk
Stiffen their legs so they can't walk
Pull their eyes so they can't see
The chill you feel all comes from me

Oh, death
Oh, death
Can't you spare me over till another year

Oh, death
Oh, death
Can't you spare me over till another year

Mama, mama come to my bed
And place a cold towel upon my head
My eyes are closed and I cannot see
I feel the sheet pullin' over me

Oh, death
Oh, death
Can't you spare me over till another year

Oh, death
Oh, death
Can't you spare me over till another year

My wealth is all [?]
[?]
[?] be quite the shame
For the earth and worm both have a claim

Oh, death
Oh, death
Can't you spare me over till another year

Oh, death
Oh, death
Can't you spare me over till another year
