Dead Horse

Bm 
A poor old man came riding by 
A 
And we say so, and we know so 
Bm 
O, a poor old man came riding by 
  D     A   D 
O, poor old man 

Bm 
Says I, old man, your horse will die 
A 
And we say so, and we know so 
Bm 
And if he dies, we'll tan his hide 
  D     A   D 
O, poor old man 

Bm 
And if he don't, I'll ride him again 
A 
And we say so, and we know so 
Bm 
And I'll ride him 'til the Lord knows when 
  D     A   D 
O, poor old man 

Bm 
He's dead as a nail in the lamp room door 
A 
And we say so, and we know so 
Bm 
And he won't come, worrying us no more 
  D     A   D 
O, poor old man 

Bm 
We'll use the hair of his tail to sew our sails 
A 
And we say so, and we know so 
Bm 
And the iron of his shoes 

To make deck nails 
  D     A   D 
O, poor old man 

Bm 
Drop him down with a long long rope 
A 
And we say so, and we hope so 
Bm 
Where the sharks have his body 

And the devil takes his soul! 
  D     A   D 
O, poor old man
