Does anyone know the Lyrics of a song which goes

Death oh death see what the Lord hath done (repeat)
Yes I know, yes I know my time ain't long.Etc

I have a feeling it was on a Blues sampler called "I asked for water but she gave me gasoline" posssibly by Brett Marvin & the Thunderbolts.
Cheers

Many versions of this old song. The Patton version is Oh Death (3) in the DT.
A thread with other versions is 12846: Conversation with Death

Clicking on the above link will take you to other threads.

The Delta Big Four has a great version of it - late thirties I think. As far as I remember the lyrics are just the same as the CP version.
