Verse
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
Verse 2
I Remember The Time At The Old Swimmin' Hold
When I Would Have Drowned Beyond
Doubt
Verse 3
But Old Shep Was Right There To The Rescue He Came
He Jumped In And Then Pulled Me
Out
Verse 4
As The Years Fast Did Roll 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 Him
Jim With Hands That
Were Trembling I Picked Up My Gun And Aimed It At Shep's Faithful Head I Just Couldn't
Do It
Verse 5
I Wanted To Run I Wish They Would Shoot Me Instead
He Came To My Side And Looked Up
At Me And Laid His Old Head On My Knee I Had Struck The Best Friend That A Man Ever
Had
Verse 6
I Cried So I Scarcely Could See Old
Shep He Has 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
