Dock Boggs - Dock Boggs Is Legendary

My Old Horse Died

Want live right, don't want to live wrong
That's why I believe in the Bible so strong
Want you all to understand what I say
Once had a fortune but I threw it away

My old horse died, the mule went lame
Lost my cow in a poker game
A cyclone come one summer day
Blew my house and barn away

Earthquake followed for to make it good
Swallowed the place from the house it stood
The mortgage man, he came around
Heartily claimed the hole in the ground

Shock was so great, he up and died
Wife and children and wept and cried
Some was left to kids and wife
For to have insurance with the Banker's Life
