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 When the Pale Horse and his rider goes by?
