Take Out Some Insurance

A man knocked upon my door said

"Don't you know you're gonna die some day

And I got a plan for you man,

For when you pass away

We'll give to your mother,

Your kids and your wife

And all you have to give

In return is your life"

Take out some insurance,

Insurance today

For tomorrow will come

And take us away

Two men were gamblin'

In a parlour one night

When a woman walked in

With her dress up so tight

She asked the two gentlemen

Would they fight for her name

They got up and shot her

And went back to their game

Take out some insurance,

Insurance today

For tomorrow will come

And take us away

This ain't no sad song,

Don't cry in your beer

For one day will come

And we won't be here

Somebody else will

Take up our game

Different place,

Different name

Take out some insurance,

Insurance today

For tomorrow will come

And take us away

For tomorrow will come

And take us away
