O Death Traditioal And Arrangement

My name is death and I excel
I can open the gates to Heaven or Hell
Cast aside the flesh of thee
Cast aside and set you free

(chorus, sang 2x each time:)

Oh-oh Death, Oh-oh-oh Death,
Can't you spare me over till another year

I lock their jaws so they can't talk,
Stiffen their legs so they can't walk
Close their eyes so they can't see
The chill you feel, it comes from me

(chorus)

Oh Ma-ma mama come to my bed
Place a cold rag on my head
My eyes are aching and I cannot see
I feel the sheet pulling over me
