Lyrics:

This song describes death as coming in the form of 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

Whoa now, horses, easy on the wheels
Whoa now, horses, easy on the wheels
So broken-hearted, up now they started
Whoa 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 the scripture
Six white horses coming after me
