O Death Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Em]Oh, death, oh, death,
please spend me over till another year.
Oh, death, oh, death,
please spend me over till another year.
Oh death, someone would pray,
could you call some other day?
The children pray, the preacher pray,
time and mercy is out of your reach.
I'll fix your feet so you can walk,
I'll lock your jaws so you can talk.
Close your eyes so you can see,
this very anthem's all worth me.
Death I've come to take the soul,
leave the body and leave it cold.
To drop the flesh off of the frame,
the orphaned one will have their claim.
Oh, death, oh, death,
please spell me over till another year.
My mother comes to my bed,
lays a cold towel upon my head because my head is warm, my feet
are cold.
Death is moving upon my soul
Oh, death, oh, you're treating me
You close my eyes so I can't see
You hurt my body, you make me cold
You move my love right out of my womb
Oh, death, oh, death
Oh, spell me over till another year
Oh, death, oh, death,
please spell me
over till another year
Oh, death, consider my age
Please don't take me at this stage
The wealth is all at your command
If you will move your icy hand.
But all the young, the rich, or poor,
Are all alike with me, you know.
But no wealth, no land,
no silver, no gold,
Nor would satisfy but your soul.
But oh, death, oh, death,
please spare me over till another year.
Oh, death, oh, death,
please spare me over till another year.
