The Blind Boy's Dog

The Blind Boy's Dog - Hank Snow

I gave my dog to Uncle Sam in 1943

He sailed across the sea and died for Liberty

Now that you are sending Hero's home I just can't understand

Why don't you send my dog home Uncle Sam

And 'though no more he'll lead me as he did in days of yore

He'll never be a blind boy's pal no more

But I know that he gets lonesome sleeping in some distant land

Please won't you send my dog home Uncle Sam

I gave my dog to Uncle Sam he was so strong and smart

We knew right from the start that we should do our part

They wrote he died a hero it was in the telegram

Please won't you send my dog home Uncle Sam

He'll sleep beneath Old Glory right here on Daddy's farm

I'll be close by to keep him from all harm

No one knows how much I miss him & how lonesome now I am

Please won't you send my dog home Uncle Sam
