[00:10.70] |
When I was a lad |
[00:16.09] |
And old shep was a pup |
[00:20.73] |
Over hills and meadows wed stray |
[00:30.96] |
Just a boy and his dog |
[00:36.11] |
We were both full of fun |
[00:41.50] |
We grew up together that way |
[00:51.15] |
I remember the time at the old swimmin hold |
[01:01.64] |
When I would have drowned beyond doubt |
[01:10.98] |
But old shep was right there |
[01:16.67] |
To the rescue he came |
[01:21.71] |
He jumped in and then pulled me out |
[01:31.41] |
As the years fast did roll |
[01:36.50] |
Old shep he grew old |
[01:41.56] |
His eyes were fast growing dim |
[01:51.26] |
And one day the doctor looked at me and said |
[02:01.45] |
I can do no more for him jim |
[02:11.30] |
With hands that were trembling |
[02:16.09] |
I picked up my gun |
[02:20.82] |
And aimed it at sheps faithful head |
[02:30.41] |
I just couldnt do it |
[02:35.35] |
I wanted to run |
[02:40.17] |
I wish they would me shoot instead |
[02:49.47] |
He came to my side |
[02:54.66] |
And looked up at me |
[02:59.40] |
And laid his old head on my knee |
[03:08.85] |
I had struck the best friend that a man ever had |
[03:18.27] |
I cried so I scarcely could see |
[03:27.31] |
Old shep he has gone |
[03:32.16] |
Where the good doggies go |
[03:36.96] |
And no more with old shep will I roam |
[03:46.00] |
But if dogs have a heaven |
[03:50.94] |
Theres one thing I know |
[03:55.58] |
Old shep has a wonderful home |
