Hank Williams Sr – Pale Horse And His Rider lyrics

(Johnny Bailes, Ervin Staggs, Zeke Clements
and Muriel Deason Wright (aka Kitty Wells))
Hank Williams & Audrey Williams

Listen poor sinner; you're driftin' away
From the Dear Saviour; who's pleading today
What will you do; when the Saviour ain't nigh
When the pale horse and his rider goes 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...
