The Pale Horse and His Rider

(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...
