Hank Williams - The Pale Horse And His Rider Lyrics
Recorded by hank williams, sr. (with audrey williams)Words and music by johnny bailes, ervin staggs, zeke clementsAnd muriel deason wright (aka kitty wells)[g] listen poor sinner; youre driftin away>from the dear saviour; whos pleading to-[d] day[g] what will you do; when the saviour aint [c] nighWhen the pale [g] horse and his [d] rider goes [g] by?The time now aint long; when the saviour will comeThen youll be judged; by the deeds you have doneOn that judgement day; youll weep and youll cryWhen the pale horse and his rider goes by?When that trumpet sounds; on the sinners belowNot even the angels; in heaven will knowThens when youll wish; you had jesus nighWhen the pale horse and his rider goes by?Wont you redeem; your poor wicked soulYou cant pay your way; with silver and goldIf youre not saved; youll be lost in the nightWhen the pale horse and his rider goes by?
