Oh Death Art With Me Lyrics - Damien Jurado

I was courted by death today 

In an attempt to take my life 

He showed up with a nice bouquet 

Of flowers for my grave 

He said, "Come with me now 

And we can take my horse and carriage" 

He led me six feet underground 

Where the worms will eat my skin 

"You will not need your body, son 

For the devil, he just wants your soul 

He has had his eyes on you 

Since the day you stepped in this world" 

I was courted by death today 

In an attempt to take my life 

He showed up with a nice bouquet 

Of flowers for my grave
