Oh, the reaper
She's coming for me
Yes, the reaper
Is coming for me
She's clad in black and white
And there's nothing in her eyes
Nothing at all
But taxman, got there before her
Yeah, the taxman, got there before her
And he took most everything
Except this song I sing
He took it all
Oh, my dealer
I'm waiting on her
Yes, my dealer
I'm waiting on her
She's got something for me
Something that I need
She's got it all
Oh, my preacher
He's praying for me
Yes, my preacher
He's praying for me
The choir, oh they sing
But there's just no saving me
No way at all
'Cause the devil
He walks beside me
Yes, the devil
He walks beside me
Jesus loves me more
But the devil, oh, I'm sure, got there before
Oh, the reaper
She's coming for me
Yes, the reaper
Is coming for me
She's clad in black and white
And there's nothing in her eyes
Nothing at all
