Morganton Hill
R. DAWSON & S. FINK
I got an angel
I've got a song
Climb that mountain
Wanna ride along
Clouds in the valley
Hanging low
Just up that Brawley Road
Brawley Road
Big old rocks
Thrush in the air
You know Morganton is way down there
There's a journeyman I've been told
Just up that Brawley Road
Brawley Road
Moonlit miles
Timber on the crawl
Chuck Wills' widow
You can see them all
Cathy's on the mountain
Silver and gold
Just up that Brawley Road
Brawley Road
And there was a light
That first light
When you were born
There was a light
That sweet light
Shining from a storm
And your mama held you close
To keep you safe and warm
Cub in the brambles
Fruit on a vine
Your mama won't leave you behind
Sunshine, rains
Colors exploed
Just up taht Brawley Road
Brawley Road
Heard that journeyman went on his way
Packed up his tackle at the end of the day
That broke-down bleacher
Tales would unfold
Just up that Brawley Road
Brawley Road
Cathy saw the angel
At Ledford Gap
Started talking about this and that
Times like those never get old
Just up that Brawley Road
Brawley Road
And there was a light
That first light
When you were born
There was a light
That sweet light
Shining from a storm
And your mama held you close
To keep you safe and warm
