Church At The Wagon Lyrics - Singles - Fletcher Jowers

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)
