| 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 |
