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

Oh Mama 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

CHORUS
Am  D     Am
Oh-oh Death
Em D  Am
Oh-oh Death
          D                   C   D  Am
Can't you spare me over till another year?
