Lyrics
Do you hear the moaning,
death bell ringing all the time?
It’s the sound of my ending,
the end of time that was mine
You know, every human being, is bound to die
So why do I hear the holler, why do I see you cry?
My mama told me, my papa told me too
You know, one-day baby, death is coming after you
I have had my fun, if I never get well no more
Oh my strength is fading, lord I'm going' down slow
Please write my mother, tell her the shape I'm in
Tell her to pray for me, forgive me for my sin
It can be a spoonful of poison,
can be the end of a love
You’ll end up in a graveyard,
but your soul will be up above
