[Verse 1]

If sweet death should ever conquer me

Let me know boys, let me know

If you hear him coming, won't you let me flee?

Let me go boys, let me go

[Verse 2]

One day death is going to conquer me

I’ll be down where the waters flow

I hope sweet heaven has a place for me

Let me know boys, let me know

[Verse 3]

If sweet death should ever conquer me

Take me down to some place below

If you hear him coming, won't you set me free?

Let me go boys, let me go

[Outro]

If you hear him coming, won't you sing for me?

That I just don’t want to go
