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
