G Am
Back when Cattle Creek used to sing
C G
Its waters were sweet and its banks were green
Am D G
And sunny days went on forever
G Am
Me and ol' Bugler we went wild
C G
A blue tick hound and redneck child
Am D G Am C G
We thought we were birds of a feather
G Am
Ah the fish would bite, my how they'd fight
C G
We'd catch them possums in the pale moonlight
Am D G
For Nola, just to please her
G Am
Bugler's voice like Gabriel's horn
C G
Up in the cypress and down through the corn
Am D G
Golden sounds, yes to treasure
G Am
Bugler, Bugler, bless your hide
C G
Jesus gonna take you for a chariot ride
Am D G Am C G Am C G
Say goodbye, say goodbye
G Am
One day Nola, she brought the news, she said,
C G
I hear young Bugler's done paid his dues,
Am D G
He's been hit down, yes on that highway
G Am
Dry your eyes and stand up straight
C G
Bugler's got a place at the pearly gates
Am D G
Say goodbye sugar, ah, say goodbye
G Am
Bugler, Bugler, bless your hide
C G
Jesus gonna take you for a chariot ride
Am D G
Say goodbye, say goodbye
