| [00:10.69] |
When I was a lad |
| [00:16.11] |
And old shep was a pup |
| [00:19.30] |
|
| [00:20.99] |
Over hills and meadows wed stray |
| [00:29.41] |
|
| [00:30.97] |
Just a boy and his dog |
| [00:35.60] |
|
| [00:36.16] |
We were both full of fun |
| [00:40.03] |
|
| [00:41.46] |
We grew up together that way |
| [00:48.08] |
|
| [00:51.27] |
I remember the time at the old swimmin hold |
| [01:00.76] |
|
| [01:01.89] |
When I would have drowned beyond doubt |
| [01:08.50] |
|
| [01:11.24] |
But old shep was right there |
| [01:15.25] |
To the rescue he came |
| [01:21.23] |
|
| [01:21.98] |
He jumped in and then pulled me out |
| [01:29.03] |
|
| [01:31.78] |
As the years fast did roll |
| [01:36.77] |
Old shep he grew old |
| [01:40.90] |
|
| [01:41.89] |
His eyes were fast growing dim |
| [01:49.15] |
|
| [01:51.71] |
And one day the doctor looked at me and said |
| [02:01.25] |
|
| [02:01.95] |
I can do no more for him jim |
| [02:11.68] |
With hands that were trembling |
| [02:16.42] |
I picked up my gun |
| [02:21.10] |
And aimed it at sheps faithful head |
| [02:28.17] |
|
| [02:31.58] |
I just couldnt do it |
| [02:34.41] |
|
| [02:35.79] |
I wanted to run |
| [02:39.45] |
|
| [02:40.76] |
I wish they would shoot me instead |
| [02:47.69] |
|
| [02:50.13] |
He came to my side |
| [02:54.50] |
|
| [02:55.25] |
And looked up at me |
| [02:58.83] |
|
| [03:00.01] |
And laid his old head on my knee |
| [03:07.76] |
|
| [03:09.56] |
I had struck the best friend that a man ever had |
| [03:17.92] |
|
| [03:19.05] |
I cried so I scarcely could see |
| [03:26.80] |
|
| [03:27.68] |
Old shep he has gone |
| [03:32.30] |
|
| [03:32.99] |
Where the good doggies go |
| [03:36.23] |
|
| [03:37.48] |
And no more with old shep will I roam |
| [03:44.79] |
|
| [03:46.41] |
But if dogs have a heaven |
| [03:51.34] |
Theres one thing I know |
| [03:56.52] |
Old shep has a wonderful home |
| [04:03.20] |
|
