Byrds The Bugler Lyrics

Bugler Lyrics

Written by larry murray

 

 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

 

 Chorus

 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

 

 Repeat chorus
