As I walked out one day, one day I met an aged man by the way His head was bald, his beard it was gray His clothing made of cold earthen clay His clothing made of cold earthen clay I said: Old man, what man are you What country do you belong to My name is Death hast heard of me All kings and princes bow down to me And you, fair maid must come along with me I'll give you gold, I'll give you pearl I'll give you costly rich robes to wear If you will spare me a little while And give me time my life to amend I'll have no gold, I'll have no pearl I want no costly rich robes to wear I cannot spare you a little while Nor give you time your life to amend In six months' time this fair maid died Let this be on my tomb-stone, she cried Here lies a poor distressed maid Just in her bloom she was snatched away Her clothing made of cold earthen clay
