back when cattle creek used to sing
its waters were sweet and its banks were green
and sunny days went on forever
me and ol' bugler we went wild
a blue tick hound and redneck child
we thought we were birds of a feather
we'd catch them possums in the pale moonlight
bugler's voice like gabriel's horn
up in the cypress and down through the corn
jesus gonna take you for a chariot ride
i hear young bugler's done paid his dues
dry your eyes and stand up straight
bugler's got a place at the pearly gates
jesus gonna take you for a chariot ride
