Dave Dudley Old Shep Lyrics:
When I was a lad and old Shep was a pup over hills
and the meadows we'd stray Just a boy and his dog
we were both full of fun and 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 he was right there to the rescue he came
He jumped in and he pulled 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 him and said well I can do no more for
him Jim With a hand that was tremblin' I picked up
my gun And I aimed it at Shep's faithful head But
I just couldn't do it oh I wanted to run and I
wished they would shoot me instead Well I went to
his side and I sat on the ground and he laid his
head on my knee I stroke the best pal that a man
ever had then I cried so I scaresly could see 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
