If sweet death should ever come for 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          One day death is gonna conquer me   I'll be down where the waters flow   I hope sweet heaven is the place for me   Let me know, boys, let me know         If sweet death should ever come for 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          If you hear him coming, won't you sing for me?   That I just don't want to go.
