Biography:
Eddie Bond (July 1, 1933 – March 20, 2013) was an American rockabilly singer and guitarist.
In the mid-1950s, Bond recorded for Mercury Records and toured with Elvis Presley, Carl Perkins, Jerry Lee Lewis, Johnny Cash, Roy Orbison, Warren Smith and others. He is infamous for having rejected the then 18-year-old Elvis Presley, who was auditioning for Bond's band. It was shortly thereafter that Presley recorded his first single at Sun Records.
Bond's contribution to the genre has been recognized by the Rockabilly Hall of Fame.

[Verse 1]
C G
McNairy County was going down
F G
When Buford Pusser came back to town.
C G
But the no-good crowd came to meet their match
F G Am
When Buford Pusser pinned on — the Sheriff’s Badge!
[Verse 2]
C G
He was a 6 foot 6 inch clean-up crew
F G
And he had to do what he had to do
C G
All by himself he got on the case
F G Am
To make this Tennessee county a better place!
[Chorus]
Am F
Buford Pusser was a Tennessee stallion.
G Am
Just one man against the whole battalion.
Am F
They laid him down but his legacy
G F Am
Still lives on with you... and me
[Verse 3]
C G
They put eight bullets in ol’ Buford’s frame
F G
But he kept on coming for more of the same
C G
He was stabbed seven times and he lost his wife
F G Am
Yeah, Buford Pusser paid one... terrible price
[Verse 4]
C G
But he set an example for the town’s good men
F G
And he blazed the path that they’re walking in
C G
They’ll be all right because he took his stand
F G Am
Buford showed all how to be... a man.
[Chorus]
Am F
Buford Pusser was a Tennessee stallion.
G Am
Just one man against the whole battalion.
Am F
They laid him down but his legacy
G F Am
Still lives on with you... and me
G F Am
Still lives on with you... and me
