1
When I was a lad and Old Shep was a pup
2
O'er hills and meadows we'd stray
3
Just a boy and his dog, we both full of fun
4
We grew up together that way
5
I remember the time at the old swimmin' hole
6
When I would have drowned beyond doubt
7
Shep was right there, to the rescue he came
8
He jumped in and helped pull me out
9
So the years sped along and at last he grew old
10
His eyesight was fast growin' dim
11
Then one day, the doctor looked at me and said
12
"I can't do no more for him, Jim"
13
With a hand that was tremblin', I picked up my gun
14
I aimed it at Shep's faithful head
15
I just couldn't do it, I wanted to run
16
And I wished they'd shoot me instead
17
I went to his side and I sat on the ground
18
He laid his head on my knee
19
I stroked the best pal that a man ever found
20
I cried, so I scarcely could see
21
Old Sheppie, he knew he was goin' to go
22
For he reached out and licked at my hand
23
He looked up at me, just as much as to say
24
‽We're partin' but you understandâ€
25
Now Old Shep is gone where the good doggies go
26
And no more with Old Shep will I roam
27
But if dogs have a Heaven, there's one thing I know
28
Old Shep has a wonderful home
Old Shep
