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
