It was a beautiful day
And the sun was a-shinin' high
Not a cloud up above
It was a good day to die

And I got my chores done
I got the horses fed
I took a swim in the pond
Just to clear out my head

It was a good day to die
It was a good day to die
And Lord knows I gave it my hardest try
But it's a good day to die

It was a beautiful day
And now the moon is a-shinin' bright
And I got my boots on
It's a good day to die

Ohhh, it was a good day to die
It was a good day to die

It'll all be good by and by
Mmm, but it's a good day to die
Ohhh, it was a good day to die
Ohhh, it's a good day to die
And it'll all be good by and by
Mmm, it was a good day to die
