Oh rest

Oh rest, Oh rest, Won't you spare me over till another year.

Well what is this that I can't see, what has cold hands takin' hold of me? Well I am rest none can excel, I'll open the door to heaven or hell. Oh rest, someone would prey, could you wait to call me another day? The children prayed, the preacher preached, time and mercy is out of your reach. I'll fix your feet till you cant walk, I'll lock your jaw till you can't talk, I'll close your eyes so you can't see, this very hour come and go with me. rest I come to take the soul, leave the body and leave it cold, To drop the flesh off of the frame, the earth and worms both have a claim.

Oh rest, Oh rest, Won't you spare me over till another year.

My mother came to my bed, placed a cold towel upon my head, My head is warm my feet are cold, rest is a movin' upon my soul. Oh rest how your treatin me, you closed my eyes so I can't see Well you're hurtin' my body you're makin' me cold you've run my life right out of my soul. Oh rest please consider my age, please don't take me at this stage. My wealth is all at your command if you will move your icy hand. Oh the young rich or poor all are like me ya know, No wealth no land no silver or gold, nothing satisfies me but your soul.

Oh rest, Oh rest, Won't you spare me over till another year. Won't you spare me over till another year. Won't you spare me over till another year.
