《Old Shep》歌词

[00:00:05] When I was a lad

[00:00:08] And old shep was a pup

[00:00:11] Over hills and meadows we'd stray

[00:00:16] Just a boy and his dog

[00:00:19] We were both full of fun

[00:00:22] We grew up together that way

[00:00:27] I remember the time at the old swimmin' hole

[00:00:33] When I would have drowned beyond doubt

[00:00:39] But old shep was right there

[00:00:41] To the rescue he came

[00:00:44] He jumped in and then pulled me out

[00:00:49] As the years fast did roll

[00:00:52] Old shep

[00:00:53] He grew old

[00:00:56] His eyes were fast growing dim

[00:01:01] And one day the doctor looked at me and said

[00:01:07] I can do no more for him

[00:01:12] Jim

[00:01:12] With hands that were trembling

[00:01:15] I picked up my gun

[00:01:18] And aimed it at shep's faithful head

[00:01:23] I just couldn't do it

[00:01:26] I wanted to run

[00:01:29] I wish they would shoot me instead

[00:01:35] He came to my side and looked up at me

[00:01:40] And laid his old head on my knee

[00:01:46] I had struck the best friend a man ever had

[00:01:51] I cried so I scarcely could see

[00:02:00] Old shep

[00:02:03] He has gone where the good doggies go

[00:02:20] And no more with old shep will I roam

[00:02:30] But if dogs have a heaven there's one thing I know

[00:02:38] Old shep has a wonderful home
