Old Tige - Jim Reeves (吉姆·里夫斯)[00:00:00]

Tige you were faithful faithful to the end[00:00:02]

Tige how I miss you you were my best friend[00:00:12]

Three years of Army Service done and I was headin' home at last [00:00:24]

I got to thinking bout my dog and things long gone and past [00:00:30]

How old Tige pulled me from the creek when I had no pulse or breath [00:00:34]

And how he saved me from the chargin' bull that gored my Dad to death [00:00:39]

As a kid I'd dream of bears and tremble to my toes[00:00:45]

Till old Tige come up to my bed and nudge me with his nose [00:00:49]

Then my fears would melt away and Tige would go lie down [00:00:53]

I'd drift on back to sleep without another sound [00:00:58]

The big bus stopped I got off - it was awful dark and thick with fog [00:01:04]

Then something gently nuzzled me and there stood Tige my dog [00:01:10]

I wondered if my faithful dog had met the bus each day[00:01:15]

And all the dreary winter nights since I'd been away [00:01:19]

To have Tige meet me here like this I was I was really glad[00:01:24]

'Cause I hadn't needed Tige so much since the day they'd buried Dad [00:01:29]

Two long miles still lay ahead but what I didn't know[00:01:34]

A giant Dam was being built where the old road used to go [00:01:38]

I thank the Lord for sending Tige and I followed where he led [00:01:43]

Knowing well without his help that I'd be good as dead [00:01:47]

Tige inched along this way and that going rough and slow [00:01:51]

And I could hear the water lappin' at the ledges far below [00:01:56]

Then through the mist I saw a light and mother in her chair [00:02:02]

I reached down to pet old Tige but he wasn't there [00:02:06]

I'm thankful Mom you had old Tige these three lonely years[00:02:12]

I owe my life to him tonight I couldn't help my tears [00:02:16]

You say you wrote me bout the Dam well God was sure with us[00:02:22]

I didn't get your letter Mom but old Tige met the bus [00:02:28]

I hate to tell you son she said but now you've got to know [00:02:32]

When you left it broke his heart Tige died three years ago [00:02:37]

(You were my best friend)[00:02:44]
