If sweet Death should ever conquer me
Let me know, boys, let me know
If you hear [bad word]  won't you let me flee?
Let me go, boys, let me go

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

If sweet Death should ever conquer me
Take me down to some place below
If you hear [bad word]  won't you set me free?
Let me go, boys, let me go
If you hear [bad word]  won't you say for me
That I just don't want to go
