Lyrics for Six White Horses

Six white horses coming two by two Six white horses coming two by two Come for my mother, no matter how I love her Six white horses coming two by two Whoa now, horses, easy on the wheels Whoa now, horses, easy on the wheels So broken-hearted, up now they started Whoa now, horses, easy on the wheels See them horses pulling on a rein See them horses pulling on a rein Sunshine and sorrow, yesterday, tomorrow Bedlam and Barlow Billy are their names Some bright morning, what will you see? Some bright morning, what will you see? Some bright morning looking on it coming Some bright morning, what will you see? There's six white horses coming after me Six white horses coming after me Pretty as a picture, certain as a scripture Six white horses coming after me
