(Tige you were faithful faithful to the end
2
Tige now I miss you you were my best friend)
3
Three years of Army Service done and I was headin' home at last
4
I got to thinking bout my dog and things long gone and passed
5
How old Tige pulled me from the creek when I had no pulse or breath
6
How he saved me from the chargin' bull that gored my Dad to death
7
As a kid I'd dream of bears and tremble to my toes
8
Till old Tige come up to my bed and nudge me with his nose
9
Then my fears would melt away and Tige would go lie down
10
I'd drift on back to sleep without another sound
11
The big bus stopped I got off it was awful dark and thick with fog
12
Then something gently nuzzled me and there stood Tige my dog
13
I wondered if my faithful dog had met the bus each day
14
And all the dreary winter nights since I'd been away
15
Have Tige meet me here like this I was I was really glad
16
Cause I hadn't needed Tige so much since the day they'd burried Dad
17
Two long miles still lay ahead but what I didn't know
18
A giant Dam was being built where the old road used to go
19
I thank the Lord for sending Tige and I followed where he led
20
Knowing well without his help that I'd be good as dead
21
Tige inched along this way and that going rough and slow
22
And I could hear the water lappin' at the ledges far below
23
Then through the mist I saw a light and mother in her chair
24
And I reached down to pet old Tige but he wasn't there
25
I'm thankful Mom you had old Tige these three lonely years
26
I owe my life to him tonight I couldn't help my tears
27
You say you wrote me bout the Dam well God was sure with us
28
I didn't get your letter Mom but old Tige met the bus
29
I hate to tell you son she said but now you've got to know
30
When you left it broke his heart Tige died three years ago
31
(You were my best friend)
