Dead Horse Lyrics by Colm R. McGuinness

A Colm Night At Sea

2021

[Verse 1]
A poor old man came riding by
And we say so, and we know so
Oh a poor old man came riding by
Oh poor old man
[Verse 2]
Says I, old man, your horse will die
And we say so, and we know so
And if he dies, we'll tan his hide
Oh poor old man
[Verse 3]
And if he don't, I'll ride him again
And we say so, and we know so
And I'll ride him till the Lord knows when
Oh poor old man
[Verse 4]
He's dead as a nail in the lamp room door
And we say so, and we know so
And he won't come worryin' us no more
Oh poor old man
[Verse 5]
We'll use the hair of his tail to sew our sails
And we say so, and we know so
And the iron of his shoes to make deck nails
Oh poor old man
[Verse 6]
We'll drop him down with a long, long ro'
And we say so, and we hope so
Wherе the sharks will have his body and the dеvil take his soul
Oh poor old man
