Jowers Fletcher - Church At The Wagon lyrics

We'd gathered up a herd of longhorns bound for Abilene

A peddler came out to the camp selling notions that we'd need

Among the things he had to sale was a Bible old and worn

Ol Coosi said I'll take it, we'll have church on Sunday morn

(Chorus)

We had church at the wagon Sunday morning

We'd gather underneath the wagon fly

Ol Coosi would read from the Good Book

And we'd sing In The Sweet Bye and Bye

In The Sweet Bye and Bye we shall meet on that beautiful shore

In The Sweet Bye and Bye we shall meet on that beautiful shore

I'd see him in the morning as he set there by the fire

Reading from that Bible, every now and then he'd smile

Waitin' on the biscuits, drinkin' coffee from a can

Sometimes you could hear him softly whisper Amen!

(Chorus)

We finally hit Abilene the drive had all gone well

We never lost one single man while pushing up the trail

I know the Lord heard Coosi's prayers and he read God's Holy Word

That Sunday morning singing was the best I've ever heard

(Chorus)
