Old Shep Red Foley - Elvis Presley[00:00:00]
Written by:Foley[00:00:01]
When I was a lad and Old Shep was a pup[00:00:11]
O'er hills and meadows we'd stray[00:00:21]
Just a boy and his dog[00:00:31]
We both full of fun[00:00:36]
We grew up together that way[00:00:41]
I remember the time at the old swimmin' hole[00:00:51]
When I would have drowned beyond doubt[00:01:02]
But Old Shep was right there[00:01:11]
To the rescue he came[00:01:16]
He jumped in and helped pull me out[00:01:22]
As the years pest it rose[00:01:31]
Old Shep here rose[00:01:37]
His eyesight was fast growin' dim[00:01:42]
And one day the doctor[00:01:51]
Looked at me and said[00:01:57]
I can't do no more for him Jim[00:02:02]
With hand that was tremblin'[00:02:12]
I picked up my gun[00:02:16]
I aimed it at Shep's faithful head[00:02:21]
I just couldn't do it[00:02:30]
I wanted to run[00:02:35]
I wished that they'd shoot me instead[00:02:40]
He came to my side[00:02:49]
And I looked on at me[00:02:55]
And laid his Old head on my knee[00:02:59]
I had stroked the best friend[00:03:08]
That a man ever hand[00:03:14]
I cried so I scarcely could see[00:03:18]
Old Sheppie has gone where the good doggies go[00:03:28]
And no more with Old Shep[00:03:37]
Will I roam[00:03:41]
But if dogs have a heaven[00:03:46]
There's one thing I know[00:03:51]
Old Shep has a wonderful home[00:03:56]
