Letra de Old Shep

Now when I was a lad and old Shep was a pup Over hills and valleys 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 swimming hole When I would have drowned beyond doubt But old shep was right there to the rescue he came He jumped in and helped drag me out. Now the years rolled along and at last he grew old His eye sight was fast growing dim Then one day the doctor looked at me and said I can't do no more for him Jim. So with trembling hand I picked up my gun Aimed it at Shep's faithful head But I just couldn't do it I wanted to run I wished they would shoot me instead. So I threw down that old gun ran right up to his side He laid his faithful old head right on my knee And friends I stroked the best pal that a man ever found I even cried so I scarsely could see. Now old Shap he knew, he knew he was going to go 'Cause he reached out and he licked at my hand Then he looked up at me just as much as to say I hate to but you understand. Now old Shep is 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...
