Six White Horses Lyrics

Gillian Welch Six White Horses

Six white horses coming to my tomb
Six white horses coming to my tomb
Come for my mother, mighty how i love her
Six white horses coming to my tomb

Whoa now horses easy on the wheels
Whoa now horses easy on the wheels
So broken hearted, up now they’ve started
Whoa now horses easy on the wheels

See them horses pullin on the reign
Sunshine and sorrow, yesterday tomorrow
Bedlum and Barlow, Billy are their names

Some bright morning what will you see
Some bright morning what will you see
Some bright morning look a-yonder, coming

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
