This is the way I remember the song from the late 1950's as done by Bill Carlisle. RUSTY OLD HALO Written by Bob Merrill (C) I know a man, rich as a king, (G7) Still he just won't give his (C) neighbor a thing, His day will come, (F) I'll make a bet, (G7) He'll get to Heaven and here's what he'll (C) get; Chorus: (C) A rusty old halo, and a (G7) skinny white (C) cloud, Some (G7) second hand wings, full of (C) patches, Rusty old halo, (F) skinny white cloud, A (G7) robe that's so wooley it (C) scratches. (C) While you're on earth , shine like a star, (G7) Brighten the corner where- (C) -ever you are, Doin' the best, (F) that you can do, (G7) That way you're sure that they'll never hand (C) you; Repeat chorus:
