My Dog

My dog, my dog, why have you forsaken me?
My dog, my dog, why the hell you run away?
My dog, my dog, why have you forsaken me?
If you don’t come back in three days I’ll think you’re in the grave!
Were your daddy’s only son, born on Christmas night
In a cold and mangy barn, 'twas a pathetic sight
But you grew up brave, you grew up strong, so loyal and so true
Heaven couldn’t’a given me a better dog than you
My dog, my dog, why have you forsaken me?
My dog, my dog, why the hell you run away?
My dog, my dog, why have you forsaken me?
If you don’t come back in three days I’ll think you’re in the grave!
You chase the tax collectors out of our front yard
You lick my sore and weary feet at night when I feel tired
You sense the weather changin', you help the blind to see
If you don’t come back here mighty soon, I’m lost as I can be
My dog, my dog, why have you forsaken me?
My dog, my dog, why the hell you run away?
My dog, my dog, why have you forsaken me?
If you don’t come back in three days I’ll think you’re in the grave!
My dog, my dog, why have you forsaken me?
My dog, my dog, why the hell you run away?
My dog, my dog, why have you forsaken me?
If you don’t come back in three days I’ll think you’re in the grave!
Who’s that coming o’er the hill? Is that my dear old dog?
I done thought that you were gone, through death you surely slogged
Your belly’s cut, your paws are scarred but otherwise you’re well
We’ll stick together here on out, you saved me from my hell
My dog, my dog, why have you forsaken me?
My dog, my dog, why the hell you run away?
My dog, my dog, why have you forsaken me?
If you don’t come back in three days I’ll think you’re in the grave!
If you don’t come back in three days I’ll think you’re in the grave!
