My Old Horse Died Lyrics

[00:06.86] Want live right, don't want to live wrong
[00:10.12] That's why I believe in the Bible so strong
[00:13.28] Want you all to understand what I say
[00:16.17] Once had a fortune but I threw it away
[00:21.17]
[00:30.09] My old horse died, the mule went lame
[00:33.31] Lost my cow in a poker game
[00:36.10] A cyclone come one summer day
[00:39.22] Blew my house and barn away
[00:43.89]
[00:53.19] Earthquake followed for to make it good
[00:55.96] Swallowed the place from the house it stood
[00:58.72] The mortgage man, he came around
[01:01.73] Heartily claimed the hole in the ground
[01:06.55]
[01:15.56] Shock was so great, he up and died
[01:18.40] Wife and children and wept and cried
[01:21.31] Some was left to kids and wife
[01:23.94] For to have insurance with the Banker's Life
[01:27.10]
