Mhm some folks drink and some folks smoke and some folks love and some folks don't

Some folks laugh and some folks frown folks hear then they gun you down

Goodbye John six white horses come to take you home

Goodbye John they took you away before you sang your song hmm

Some preach wrong and some preach right and some preach love and some preach fight

Takes every kind to make that world go round takes one to gun you down

Goodbye Martin six white horses come to take you home

Goodbye Reverend they took you away before you sang your song hmm

Some people stick pretty close to home others're born with that urge to roam

Welcome welcome to our town hope nobody tries to gun you down

Goodbye Bobby six white horses come to take you home

Goodbye Robert they took you away before you sang your song hmm

Goodbye John and goodbye Martin and goodbye Bobby

Well they took you away before you sang your song
