Lyrics
CHURCH AT THE WAGON (3:39) (Fletcher Jowers) Matt 18:20 - Where two or three gather together because they are mine, I am there among them. 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 Ch: 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! Ch: 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 Ch: (c) 2003 Pistol Hill Music ASCAP
