Description
Written by Larry Murray. Released in 1969 from the album "Six White Horses". It reached #4 on country charts and #79 on the Hot 100.
The "six white horses" refer to a funeral procession, specifically those belonging to John F. Kennedy, Robert Kennedy and Martin Luther King. As a result, the song has been called a country version of "Abraham, Martin and John", Dion's famous elegy to the Kennedys and King (and Abraham Lincoln), which also came out in 1969.
