[00:23.29]Wasn't scared of jumpin' off the truck in high gear
[00:26.36]King went a-sniffin' and he would go
[00:28.83]Was the best old hound dog I ever did know.

[00:39.50]I had a dog and his name was King
[00:42.21]I told the dog about everything
[00:45.03]There in my truck the dog and I
[00:47.96]Then one day the King up and died.

[01:02.77]Then I thought about the times we had
[01:05.53]Once when I kicked him when he was bad
[01:08.36]Old King sure meant a lot to me
[01:11.18]But that hound dog is history.

[01:40.24]Wasn't scared of jumpin' off the truck in high gear
[01:43.12]King went a-sniffin' and he would go
[01:45.64]Was the best old hound dog I ever did know.

[01:56.15]That old King was a friend of mine
[01:58.87]Never knew a dog that was half as fine
There in my truck the dog and I
[02:47.33]Then one day the King up and died

[02:19.96]King went a-howlin' after deer
[02:22.82]Wasn't scared of jumpin' off the truck in high gear
[02:25.64]King went a-sniffin' and he would go
[02:28.21]Was the best old hound dog I ever did know.

[02:38.61]I had a dog and his name was King
[02:41.48]I told the dog about everything
[02:44.30]There in my truck the dog and I
[02:47.22]Then one day the King up and died.
