Soon one morning
Death comes a-creeping in the room
Soon one morning
Death comes a-creeping in the room
Soon one morning
Death comes a-creeping in the room
Oh my Lord, oh my Lord what shall I do

You may call your father
Your father will be no use
Call your father
Your father will be no use
Call your father
Your father will be no use
Oh my Lord, oh my Lord what shall I do

You had better hush, hush, hush
Somebody's calling by name
Hush
Somebody's calling by name
Hush
Oh my Lord, oh my Lord what shall I do
