Old Shep

Old Shep - Ralph DeMarco

Written by：Foley

When I was a lad

And old Shep was a pup

Over hills and meadows

We'd stray

Just a boy and his dog

We were both full of fun

We grew up together that way

As the years rolled on

Old Shep had grown old

His eyes were fast growing dim

And one day the doctor

Looked at me and said

I can do no more for him Jim

With hands that were trembling

I picked up my gun

And aimed it at

Shep's faithful head

I just couldn't do it

I wanted to run

I wish they would

Shoot me instead

Now old Shep has gone

Where the good doggies go

And no more with old Shep

Will I roam

But if dogs have a heaven

There's one thing I know

Old Shep has a wonderful home
