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 |
