Lyrics Gillian Welch

Gillian Welch

Six White Horses

Six white horses coming two by two

Six white horses coming two by two

Coming for my mother, no matter how I love her

Six white horses coming two by two

Woah now horses! Easy on the wheels

Woah now horses! Easy on the wheels

So broken hearted, up now they started

Woah 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
