1
When I was a lad and old Shep was a pup
2
O'er hills and meadows we'd strayed
3
Just a boy and his dog we were both full of fun
4
We grew up together that way
5
I remember the time at the old swimming 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 eye sight was fast growing 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 trembling 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 knees
19
I stroke the best pal that a man ever found
20
I cried so I scaresly could see
21
Old Shepy he knew he was going to go
22
for he reached out and nipped at my hand
23
He looked up at me just as much as to say
24
We're parting but you'll understand
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
