[00:01.96] When I was a lad
[00:05.03] And old shep was a pup
[00:08.43] Over hills and meadows wed stray
[00:14.93] Just a boy and his dog
[00:18.18] We were both full of fun
[00:21.68] We grew up together that way
[00:27.94] I remember the time at the old swimmin hold
[00:34.44] When I would have drowned beyond doubt
[00:40.79] But old shep was right there
[00:44.00] To the rescue he came
[00:47.29] He jumped in and then pulled me out
[00:56.78] Now the years they roll by
[01:00.04] Old shep he grew old
[01:03.44] His eyesight last growing dim
[01:09.93] And one day the doctor looked at him and said
[01:16.42] I can do no more for him jim
[01:22.38] With hands that were trembling
[01:25.88] I picked up my gun
[01:28.99] And aimed it at sheps faithful head
[01:34.94] but I just couldnt do it
[01:38.64] I wanted to run
[01:41.59] I wish they would shoot me instead
[01:51.50] Now old shep he has gone
[01:54.46] Where the good doggies go
[01:58.01] And no more with old shep will I roam
[02:04.15] But if dogs have a heaven
[02:07.29] Theres one thing I know
[02:10.59] Old shep has a wonderful home
