GBack when Cattle Creek Amused to sing
Its Cwaters were sweet and its Gbanks were green
And Amsunny days Dwent on foreGver
GMe and ol' Bugler Amwe went wild
A Cblue tick hound and Gredneck child
We Amthought we were Dbirds of a Gfeather
GAh the fish would bite, Ammy how they'd fight
CWe'd catch them possums in the Gpale moonlight
For AmNola, Djust to Gplease her
GBugler's voice like AmGabriel's horn
CUp in the cypress and Gdown through the corn
AmGolden sounds, Dyes to treasGure
GBugler, Bugler, Ambless your hide
CJesus gonna take you for a Gchariot ride
Say Amgoodbye, Dsay goodbGye
GOne day Nola, she Ambrought the news, she said,
CI hear young Bugler's done Gpaid his dues,
He's been Amhit down, Dyes on that highGway
GDry your eyes and Amstand up straight
CBugler's got a place at the Gpearly gates
Say Amgoodbye sugar, Dah, say goodbGye
GBugler, Bugler, Ambless your hide
CJesus gonna take you for a Gchariot ride
Say Amgoodbye, Dsay goodbGye
