A Rusty Old Halo - Hoyt Axton

I know a man as rich as a king

Still he just won’t give his neighbors a thing

He’ll go to heaven someday I’ll bet

He’ll get up to heaven and here’s what he’ll get.

A rusty old halo, skinny white cloud

Second hand wings full of patches

A rusty old halo, skinny white cloud

Robe that’s so wooly and it scratches.

Some people have them big shiny cars

Swimming pools fur coats and diamonds in jars

Real silver gates real golden doors

They’ll get up to heaven and trade them all for.

A rusty old halo, skinny white cloud

Second hand wings full of patches

A rusty old halo, skinny white cloud

Robe that’s so wooly and it scratches.

While you’re on earth you should shine like a star

Brighten up the corner wherever you are

Doing each day the best you can do That way you’re saure that they’ll never hand you.

A rusty old halo skinny white cloud

Second hand wings full of patches

A rusty old halo, skinny white cloud

Robe that’s so wooly and it scratches.

A rusty old halo skinny white cloud

Second hand wings full of patches

A rusty old halo, skinny white cloud

Robe that’s so wooly and it scratches…
