"Bust Up The Flock" lyrics

A couple good bird dogs
And grandaddy's longbox
First thing in the morning
Yeah we'd bust up the flock

If we could bust that flock
Then we could call 'em all back
We would pick a few birds
Then commence to attack
#5's would put them wild turkeys on our backs
And it's awful hard to beat a sunrise like that

With a couple good bird dogs
And my grandaddy's longbox
First thing in the morning
Yeah we'd bust up the flock
With a couple English pointers
And my grandaddy's longbox
First thing in the morning
Yeah we'd bust up the flock

Them bird dogs stayed still
Stiller than an old statue
At the base of the tree
Just like they were supposed to do
They'd keep their composure
'Til the whole hunt was over
But they'd be the first
To get a hold of that turkey every time

A couple good bird dogs
And my grandaddy's longbox
First thing in the morning
Yeah we'd bust up the flock
With a couple English pointers
And my grandaddy's longbox
First thing in the morning
Yeah we'd bust up the flock

Some guys would send 'em back to the truck
After they would bust 'em up
But we took a lot of pride
In teaching our dogs to hide
They had fortitude
They would never move
And we'd get us our limit every time

With a couple good bird dogs
And my grandaddy's longbox
First thing in the morning
We'd bust up the flock
With a couple good bird dogs
And my grandaddy's longbox
First thing in the morning
Yeah we'd bust up the flock

Now it's thanksgiving day
I hit my knees and I pray
Thank The Lord for this tradition
And that turkey in the kitchen

An a couple good bird dogs
And my grandaddy's longbox
First thing in the morning
Yeah we're bustin' up the flock
