O Death

Rhiannon Giddens

Oh, death
Oh, death in the morning
Oh, death
Spare me over 'til another year

Oh, death
Oh, death in the morning
Oh, death
Spare me over 'til another year

Death walked up to the sinner's door
Said, "Now sinner, you got to go"
The sinner looked around and began to cry
Said, "Oh no, death, I'm not ready to die"

Singing oh, death
Oh, death in the morning
Oh, death
Spare me over 'til another year

Gonna fix your feet where you can't walk
Gonna fix your tongue where you can't talk
Gonna close your eyes so you can't see
Now you gotta come now and go with me

Singing oh, death
Oh, death in the morning
Oh, death
Spare me over 'til another year

Oh, death, please consider my age
And do not take me at this stage
All of my wealth is at your command
If you'll just remove your cold, icy hand

He's singing oh, death
Oh, death in the morning
Oh, death
Spare me over 'til another year
He's singing oh, death
Oh, death in the morning
Oh, death
Spare me over 'til another year
Spare me over 'til another year
Spare me over 'til another year
