Subject: A rusty old halo...lyrics requested From: GUEST,Joan Date: 02 Aug 00 - 04:54 PM does anyone know the lyrics to a song that starts "a rusty old halo and a skinny white cloud, and some second-hand wings full of patches"? My father can longer remember the words and I'm trying to surprise him. Thanks in advance for your help! |

Subject: Lyr/Chords Add: RUSTY OLD HALO (Bob Merrill) From: Joe Offer Date: 02 Aug 00 - 05:12 PM Ah, that was an easy one. I found it at Cowpie (click) the country lyrics database. -Joe Offer- Rusty Old Halo (written by Bob Miller -or maybe it was Bob Merrill - and recorded by Hoyt Axton and Bill Carlisle) [G]I know a man, [C]rich as a king, [D7]still he just won't give his [G]neighbors a thing, He'll get up to heaven [C]someday I bet, [D7]he'll get up to heaven and [G]here's what he'll get Chorus [G]A rusty old halo, [C]skinny white cloud, [D7]second hand wings full of [G]patches, [G]A rusty old halo, [C]skinny white cloud, a [D7]robe that's so wooley that it [G]scratches. [G]Some people have them [C]big fancy cars, [D7]swimming pools, fur coats, and [G]diamonds in jars, real silver gates, [C]real golden doors, [D7]they'll get up to heaven and [G]trade them all for Chorus [G]While you're on earth you should [C]shine like a star, [D7]brighten up the corner where [G]ever you are, doing each day the [C]best you can do, [D7]that way you'll be sure they'll [G]never hand you CHORUS |
Subject: RE: A rusty old halo...lyrics requested From: Joe Offer Date: 02 Aug 00 - 05:22 PM BMI shows "Rusty Old Halo" was written by Cleophus Robinson, although the BMI index goes just by the title and has no lyrics. Nonetheless, I think I'd go with that attribution. -Joe Offer- |
