O Death (Old Time Folk Song, Clawhammer Banjo).

I first heard this song from Clifton Hicks when “Old Leatherstocking” sang it. Later, I discovered other versions from Lloyd Chandler, Nimrod Workman and Dock Boggs. Most people nowadays play it in the style of Dock Boggs so I decided to try something different and came up with my own arrangement. I hope you like it! Lyrics: Oh what is this I cannot see, with icy hands getting hold of me? My name is death, none can excel. I open the door to heaven or hell. O death o death, how can this be? I’m unprepared for eternity. Yes I have come for to get your soul, I’ll leave your body and leave it cold. I’ll drop the flesh from off your frame. The earth and worms both have a claim. O death o death! Please spare me o’er for another year! O death o death can this be true? Please give me time to reason with you. From time to time you’ve heard and saw, I’ll close your eyes and I’ll lock your jaw. I’ll lock your jaw so you can’t talk. I’ll fix your feet so you can’t walk. I’ll close your eyes so you can’t see, this very hour come and go with me! O death o death! Please spare me o’er for another year! O death o death consider my age, and please don’t take me at this stage. My land and wealth is at your command, if you’ll just move your icy hand. No land no wealth no silver nor gold, nothing satisfies me but your soul. The young the old the rich the poor, the like with me they all must go. O death o death! Please spare me o’er for another year. O death o death please let me see, if Christ has turned his back on me. From time to time you’ve been asked to bow, you didn’t take heed and it’s too late now! O death o death please give me time, to fix my heart and change my mind. Your heart is fixed your mind is bound, I have the shackles to drag you down! O death o death! Please spare me over for another year! The children pray the preacher preach, but time and mercy are out of your reach. Too late too late so long farewell. Your soul your soul has been summoned to hell. As long as Christ in Heaven shall dwell, your soul your soul will scream in hell. O death o death! Please spare me over for another year!
