THE PALE HORSE AND 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
