Larry, here are the lyrics from the 'Oh Brother where art thou' album.

Oh, rest Ralph Stanley Oh Brother, Where Art Thou?

oh rest oh rest won't you spare me over to another year

Well what is this that I cant see Ice cold hands taking hold of me Well I am rest none can excel I've opened the door to heaven or hell

oh rest someone would pray could you wait to call me another day The children prayed, the preacher preached having mercy is out of your reach

I'll fix your feet till you cant walk I'll lock your jaw til you cant talk I'll close your eyes so you cant see its burrin time come 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 Wont you spare me over to 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 moving upon my soul

Oh rest how your treating me you closed my eyes so I cant see well your hurting my body you make me cold you you 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, the rich or poor all alike me you know no wealth, no land, no silver, no gold nothing satisfies me but your soul

oh rest oh rest wont you spare me over to another year wont you spare me over to another year wont you spare me over to another year
