Oh Death
What is this that I can't seeWith icy hands takin' hold of me?I am Death, none can excelI hold the keys to heaven and hellChorusOh, Death, Oh, DeathWon't you spare me over for another yearMother, Mother come to my bedPlace a cold towel upon my headMy head's so hot, my feet so coldFell Death is moving in upon my soul ChorusChildren cried, the preacher preachedTime and mercy are out of reach"Death," I heard somebody say,"Won't you come back some other day"My wealth is all at your command "If you'll only remove your icy hand."No wealth, no money, no silver, no goldNothing satisfies me but your soul SongtexteChorusI will lock your jaws so you can't talkLock your feet so you can't walkGonna close your eyes so you can't seeThis very hour come and go with meChorus
