Old Shep歌词

When I was a lad
And old shep was a pup
Over hills and meadows wed stray
Just a boy and his dog
We were both full of fun
We grew up together that way
I remember the time at the old swimmin hold
When I would have drowned beyond doubt
But old shep was right there
To the rescue he came
He jumped in and then pulled me out
Now the years they roll by
Old shep he grew old
His eyesight last growing dim
And one day the doctor looked at him and said
I can do no more for him jim
With hands that were trembling
I picked up my gun
And aimed it at sheps faithful head
but I just couldnt do it
I wanted to run
I wish they would shoot me instead
Now old shep he has gone
Where the good doggies go
And no more with old shep will I roam
But if dogs have a heaven
Theres one thing I know
Old shep has a wonderful home
