Old Shep - Hank Snow

Now when I was a lad

And old Shep was a pup

Over hills and meadows we'd 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' hole

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

As the years roll long

And 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 your dog

So with trembling hands

I picked up my gun

And aimed it at Shep's faithful head

But I just couldn't do it

I wanted to run

I wish they would shoot me instead

So I threw down my little gun

Then he run to my side

And laid his old head right on my knee

My friend I had struck the best gun that a man ever had

I even cried so I scarcely could see

Now Old Shep he knew he was going to go

'Cause he reached down and lift my head

Then looked but me

Just mine to say

I hate to but you understand

Now Shep gone

Where the good doggies go

And no more with old Shep will I roam

But if dogs have a heaven

There's one thing I know

Old Shep has a wonderful home
