    Oh death
    Oh death
    Oh death
    Wont you spare me over
    For another year
    Well what is this that I can’t see
    With ice cold hands taking hold of me
    Well I am death none excel
    I’ll open the door to heaven or hell
    Oh death
    Won’t you hear me say
    Won’t you come and call me another day
    Oh death
    Oh death
    Oh death
    Won’t you spare me over
    Another year
    The children prayed, the preacher preached
    Time and mercy is out of your reach
    I bind your legs so you can’t walk
    Close your mouth so you can’t talk
    I take your eyes so you can’t see
    The very hour come and you with me
    Oh death
    Oh death
    Oh death
    Won’t you spare me over
    Another year
    My mother came to my bed
    Put a cold cloth on my head
    My head is warm
    My feet are cold
    Death is moving on my soul
    Oh death
    How you’re treating me you’ve take my eyes so I can’t see
    My wealth is all at your command
    You should move your Icy hand
    Oh death
    Oh death
    Won’t you spare me over
    Won’t you spare me over
    Oh won’t you spare me over
    Another year
    :)

      @@Plasticninja_ your talking about Lloyd Chandler, and he was an American Appalachian folk musician and got the song by a vision in 1916
      But historically its origin is not known since by the same time that Lloyd got the song a version was being sung by Appalachian mountain folk years before Lloyd the vision and the mountain folk version was extremely similar to Lloyds version

    Why did he make it so upbeat.

      Because it is a spiritual, most of which are upbeat in spite of their content. It usually shows passion and care.

      It's a request to not die at that moment. It's an acknowledgement of death's power but also the desire to live.
