Hank Williams Lyrics

"The Pale Horse & His Rider" lyrics


Recorded by hank williams, sr. (with audrey williams)
Words and music by johnny bailes, ervin staggs, zeke clements
And muriel deason wright (aka kitty wells)

[g] listen poor sinner; you're driftin' away
>from the dear saviour; who's pleading to-[d] day
[g] what will you do; when the saviour ain't [c] nigh
When the pale [g] horse and his [d] rider goes [g] by?

The time now ain't long; when the saviour will come
Then you'll be judged; by the deeds you have done
On that judgement day; you'll weep and you'll cry


When the pale horse and his rider goes by?

When that trumpet sounds; on the sinners below
Not even the angels; in heaven will know
Then's when you'll wish; you had jesus nigh
When the pale horse and his rider goes by?

Won't you redeem; your poor wicked soul
You can't pay your way; with silver and gold
If you're not saved; you'll be lost in the night
When the pale horse and his rider goes by?
