Lyrics for My Old Horse Died
Want live right, don't want to live wrong That's why I believe in the Bible so strong Want you all to understand what I say Once had a fortune but I threw it away My old horse died, the mule went lame Lost my cow in a poker game A cyclone come one summer day Blew my house and barn away Earthquake followed for to make it good Swallowed the place from the house it stood The mortgage man, he came around Heartily claimed the hole in the ground Shock was so great, he up and died Wife and children and wept and cried Some was left to kids and wife For to have insurance with the Banker's Life
