O, Death
O, Death

Won't you spare me over til another year
Well what is this that I can't see
With ice cold hands takin' hold of me
Well I am death, none can excel
I'll open the door to heaven or hell

I never heard the wind cry
I only felt the pain
Across the lonesome heartland
My sisters, they felt the same
So let it rain!

Well, I know as well as I know
I'm going to hell, girl!
Well, I know as well as I know
You're coming as well
Please don't pray for a sinner like me!

Lay me down tonight, Lord!
Tomorrow I am gone
They hang me in the morning
For running outside the law
The law.

So I know as well as I know
I'm going to hell, girl!
And I know as well as I know
You're coming as well
Please don't pray for a sinner like me!
