SIX WHITE HORSES
(Larry Murray)
Tommy Cash - 1969


Hmmmmmmmmmm
Some folks drink and some folks smoke
Some folks love and some folks don't
Some folks laugh and some folks frown 
Some folks here that'll gun you down
Goodbye John (Goodbye John)
Six white horses come to take you home
Goodbye John (Goodbye John)
Took you away before you sang your song 
Hmm-hmm-hmm

Some preach wrong and some preach right 
Some preach love and some preach fight
Takes every kind to make the world go round 
Takes only one to gun you down
Goodbye Martin (Goodbye Martin)
Six white horses come to take you home
Goodbye Reverend (Goodbye Reverend)
Took you away before you sang your song 
Hmm-hmm-hmm

Some people stick pretty close to home 
Others are born with a urge to roam
Welcome, welcome to our town 
I hope nobody tries to gun you down
Goodbye Bobby (Goodbye Bobby) 
Six white horses come to take you home
Goodbye Robert (Goodbye Robert)
Took you away before you sang your song
Goodbye John (Goodbye John)
Goodbye Martin (Goodbye Martin)
Goodbye Bobby (Goodbye Bobby)
They took you away before you sang your song 
Hmm-hmm-hmm
