Bugler

Back when Cattle Creek used to sing Its 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 a redneck child We thought we were birds of a feather Ah the fish would bite, my how they'd fight We'd catch them possums in the pale moonlight For Nora, just to please her Bugler's voice like Gabriel's horn Up from the cypress and 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 Nora 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 Bugler, Bugler, bless your hide Jesus gonna take you for a chariot ride Say goodbye, aw say goodbye
