Back when Cattle Creek used to sing |
|
it's waters were sweet and its banks were green |
|
and sunny days, went on forever |
|
Me and old Bugler, we'd run wild |
|
bluetick hound and the redneck child |
|
we thought we were, birds of a feather |
|
Ah the fish would bite, my how they'd bite |
|
we'd catch them possoms in the pail moonlight |
|
for ma, just to please her |
|
Bugler's voice like Gabriel's horn |
|
up in the cypress, all down through the corn |
|
golden sounds, yes to treasure |
|
Bugler, Bugler, bless your hide |
|
Jesus gonna take you for a chariot ride |
|
Say Goodbye, Say Goodbye |
|
One day Ma she brought the news |
|
She said, honey young Bugler's done paid his dues |
|
he's been hit down, yes on that highway |
|
Dry your eyes and stand up straight |
|
Bugler's got a place at the pearly gates |
|
Say goodbye sugar, Oh say goodbye |
|
Bugler, Bugler, bless your hide |
|
Jesus gonna take you for a chariot ride |
|
Say Goodbye, Say Goodbye |
