When I was a lad |
| [00:06.34] |
And old shep was a pup |
| [00:11.64] |
Over hills and meadows wed stray |
| [00:21.58] |
Just a boy and his dog |
| [00:27.48] |
We were both full of fun |
| [00:32.72] |
We grew up together that way |
| [00:42.71] |
I remember the time at the old swimmin hold |
| [00:54.07] |
When I would have drowned beyond doubt |
| [01:04.10] |
But old shep was right there |
| [01:09.96] |
To the rescue he came |
| [01:15.45] |
He jumped in and then pulled me out |
| [01:25.54] |
As the years fast did roll |
| [01:31.39] |
Old shep he grew old |
| [01:36.79] |
His eyes were fast growing dim |
| [01:47.43] |
And one day the doctor looked at me and said |
| [01:57.96] |
I can do no more for him jim |
| [02:08.89] |
With hands that were trembling |
| [02:13.89] |
I picked up my gun |
| [02:19.18] |
And aimed it at sheps faithful head |
| [02:29.62] |
I just couldnt do it |
| [02:34.71] |
I wanted to run |
| [02:39.95] |
I wish they would shoot me instead |
| [02:50.82] |
He came to my side |
| [02:56.11] |
And looked up at me |
| [03:01.50] |
And laid his old head on my knee |
| [03:12.13] |
I had struck the best friend that a man ever had |
| [03:22.62] |
I cried so I scarcely could see |
| [03:33.76] |
Old shep he has gone |
| [03:38.85] |
Where the good doggies go |
| [03:43.89] |
And no more with old shep will I roam |
| [03:53.94] |
But if dogs have a heaven |
| [03:59.78] |
Theres one thing I know |
| [04:04.97] |
Old shep has a wonderful home |
