Rusty Old Halo - Mahalia Jackson

Rusty old halo skinny white cloud second hand wings full of patches

Rusty old halo skinny white cloud robe that’s so wooly it scratches

I know a man rich as a king

Still he just won’t give his neighbor a thing

His day will come, I’ll make a bet

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

Rusty old halo skinny white cloud robe that’s so wooly and it scratches

While you’re on earth shine like a star

Brighten up the corner wherever you are

Doing the best things you can do

That way you’re sure that they’ll never hand you
