Old Shep

歌詞

Now when i was a lad and old shep was a pup, Over hills and valleys we strayed Just a boy and his dog we were both full of fun We growed up together that way I remember the time at the old swimming hole I would have drowned beyond doubt But old shep was right there to the rescue he came And he jumped in and helped dragged me out Now the years rolled along and at last he grew old His eyesight was fast growing dim Then one day the doctor looked at me and said I cant do no more for him jim So with trembling hand i picked up my gun And aimed it at sheps faithful head But i just couldnt do it i wanted to run I wished they would shoot me instead So i threw down that old gun and run right up to his side He laid his fathful old head right on my knee And friends i stroked the best pal a man ever found And i even cried so i scarcely could see Now old shep he knew he was going to go Cause he reached down and licked at my hand And he looked up at me just as much as to say I hate it to but you understand Now old shep is gone where the good doggys go And no more with old shep will i roam But if dogs have a heaven there is one thing i know Old shep has a wonderful home
