Oh my love
Oh if you're stricken down
If you're cut down in your prime

Oh dear God
Won't please you give me now
A second more of her time

And if you're old before your time
we'll pickle you in brine that's the deal dear
And if you're old before your time
we'll pickle you in brine that's the deal dear

And if there is one thing worse than growing old
Maybe it's the fear

Oh dear fate
Don't deliver her
Too early at your gate

And it's our time now
One atomic tock
Another tick I have to sate

And if you're old before your time
we'll pickle you in brine that's the deal dear
And if you're old before your time
we'll pickle you in brine that's the deal dear

And if there is one thing worse than growing old
Maybe it's the fear

And if there is one thing worse than growing old
Maybe it's the fear
