Song information
Artist: The Byrds Album: Farther Along
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
