Death came to my house, he didn't stay long

Chorus:
Hallelululu, hallelu, O my Lord,
I'm goin't see my friend again, hallelu.

1 Death come to my house, he didn't stay long,
I looked on the bed and my mother was gone,
I'm goin't see my mother again hallelu. [Chorus]

2 Death come to my house, he didn't stay long,
I looked on the bed and my father was gone,
I'm goin't see my father again hallelu. [Chorus]

3 Death come to my house, he didn't stay long,
I looked on the bed and my sister was gone,
I'm goin't see my sister again hallelu. [Chorus]

4 Death come to my house, he didn't stay long,
I looked on the bed and my brother was gone,
I'm goin't see my brother again hallelu. [Chorus]
