1
When I was a lad
2
And old Shep was a pup
3
Over hills and meadows we'd stray
4
Just a boy and his dog
5
We were both full of fun
6
We grew up together that way
7
I remember the time at the old swimmin' hole
8
When I would have drowned beyond doubt
9
But old Shep was right there
10
To the rescue he came
11
He jumped in and then pulled me out
12
As the years fast did roll
13
Old Shep, he grew old
14
His eyes were fast growing dim
15
And one day the doctor looked at me and said
16
"I can do no more for him, Jim"
17
With hands that were trembling
18
I picked up my gun
19
And aimed it at Shep's faithful head
20
I just couldn't do it, I wanted to run
21
I wish they would shoot me instead
22
He came to my side and looked up at me
23
And laid his old head on my knee
24
I had struck the best friend a man ever had
25
I cried so I scarcely could see
26
Old Shep, he has gone where the good doggies go
27
And no more with old Shep will I roam
28
But if dogs have a heaven there's one thing I know
29
Old Shep has a wonderful home
Fan gets onstage and gets a kiss from El...
