Old Shep
Ton : GEnglish
oh wGhen I was a lad Emold shep wasA a pup
over hilDls and valleys we'd stGray
just a boy and his dEmog we were botAh full of fun
we greDw up together that waGy
I remeCmber the time at the oldG swimming hole
when i would have drowneAd beyDond doubt
Old sheGp was right theEmre to the reAscue he came
he jumDped in and helped pull me Gout
As the years fast did roll
Old shep he grew old
His eyes were fast growing dim
And one day the doctor looked at me 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
I just couldnt do it
I wanted to run
I wish they would shoot me instead
He came to my side
And looked up at me
And laid his old head on my knee
I had struck the best friend that a man ever had
I cried so I scarcely could see
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
