O Death

O Death — also known as O, Death, Oh Death, and Conversations with Death — is a traditional American folk song.

Country blues banjo player Moran Lee "Dock" Boggs (1898-1971) recorded the song in the late 1920s.[1] A recording from the 1938 National Folk Festival held in Washington, D.C. is on file with the Library of Congress.[2] Various folk music artists included Oh, Death on a variety of musical collections throughout the 1970s and '80s.[3]
