Subject: Lyr Add: DADDY WOULDN'T BUY ME A BOW WOW (Tabrar)
From: Rog Peek
Date: 17 Sep 08 - 12:16 PM

Probably already here, but i didn't see it.

DADDY WOULDN'T BUY ME A BOW WOW [also here]
(Joseph Tabrar - 1892)

I love my little cat, I do
With soft black silky hair
It comes with me each day to school
And sits upon the chair
When teacher says "why do you bring
That little pet of your's?"
I tell her that I bring my cat
Along with me because

Daddy wouldn't buy me a bow-wow! bow wow!
Daddy wouldn't buy me a bow-wow! bow wow!
I've got a little cat
And I'm very fond of that
But I'd rather have a bow-wow
Wow, wow, wow, wow

We used to have two tiny dogs
Such pretty little dears
But daddy sold 'em 'cause they used
To bite each other's ears
I cried all day, at eight each night
Papa sent me to bed
When Ma came home and wiped my eyes
I cried again and said

Daddy wouldn't buy me a bow-wow! bow wow!
Daddy wouldn't buy me a bow-wow! bow wow!
I've got a little cat
And I'm very fond of that
But I'd rather have a bow-wow
Wow, wow, wow, wow

I'll be so glad when I get old
To do just as I "likes"
I'll keep a parrot and at least
A half a dozen tykes
And when I've got a tiny pet
I'll kiss the little thing
Then put it in its little cot
And on to it I'll sing

Daddy wouldn't buy me a bow-wow! bow wow!
Daddy wouldn't buy me a bow-wow! bow wow!
I've got a little cat
And I'm very fond of that
But I'd rather have a bow-wow
Wow, wow, wow, wow

If it is, I apologise

Rog

Subject: Lyr Add: AIN'T NO GOIN' BACK (Jed Marum)
From: JedMarum
Date: 15 Sep 08 - 03:37 PM

My wife wanted me to put our dogs in a song. I'd been playing with the notion of amusing myself with a common sort of country song format - hopefully with a twist - so I wrote the song below. It is currently up on the Boston Road Records Myspace page, look for the title in the jukebox, upper right.

The sighthounds I mention are Whippets (we have two). They are lovely dogs. Fast, fun loving, silly, fast as hell, great hunters and faster then hell.



Ain't No Goin' Back
(c) Jed Marum 2006

Lacey turned her face to the sun it was almost risin'
Jackson hit the ground on the run and he bound away
Amarillo skyline clear against the horizon
Just another lonely start to a brand new day

Somethin' in her eye that caught me without warning
Somethin' in her arms that made me want to stay
Nothin' at this roadside stop this time of the mornin'
Nothin' but these two sight hounds my truck and me

CHO
Each and every time I leave
I loose the world behind
Each and every time I find my way
Ain't no goin' back it's true,
I know but I don't mind
Just another lonely start to a brand new day

Now and then I hear from my sister in Memphis
She gives me all the news of my ex in San Antone
I try to say hello to Mom on birthdays and Christmas
"No I can't come just now, but it won't be long."

CHO

I whistle for the dogs and Jackson jumped on the tailgate
Lacey's gettin' on in years, she'll need a hand
Time for movin' I know, and some things just can't wait
I didn't leave a note I hope she'll understand

CHO

Blast! just remembered Martyn Wyndham-Read BALLAD OF THE DROVER

The faithful dog a moment
    Sits panting on the bank,
And then swims through the current
    To where his master sank.
And round and round in circles
    He fights with failing strength,
Till, borne down by the waters,
    The old dog sinks at length.

I cry like a baby everytime I hear it.

Just wanted to correct some lyrics to the song MY DOG by Tom Dundee posted early in this thread:

The whole thing started 'cause it looked like fun
Other people have a dog, I'm gonna get me one,
I said, 'N have a little friend around the place.
So, I went to the pet store down the street
and lyin' in the middle of a canine heap
was a sleepy little puppy with a quiet sort of a face.

I handed the man 15 dollars about
and said "I'll just stick 'er in my shirt and head on out"
and reached for the one that looked like a little fox.
He said, "you hold it right there and fill out these sheets,
have her back in for shots in a couple 'o weeks
and it's our policy you take 'er outta here in this box."

Well he folded up a cardboard crate in a minute,
took my dog stuck 'er down in it,
pushed on 'er head and folded in over the top.
Well, I can hear her yet how she scratched and she cried
and she hollered some more when we got her out side
and we were almost home before she decided to stop.

The rest of it is as posted.

Don't know when Tom changed the gender because we weren't in touch over the last years of his life. Originally, the dog was female and some of the submitted lyrics were different than the ones I learned, but other than that it's all good.

Oh, where, oh, where can he be?
Mit his tail cut short and his ears cut long,

I luff mine lager, isht very goot beer
Oh, where, oh where can he be?
But mit no money, I cannot drink here.
Oh, where, oh where can he be?

Hawker, you are right. The song is called 'You can't bring that bloody dog in here', written by Brian Ross. It was written because at Sidmouth one year all dogs were banned from the Anchor. Brian asked Jon to hold Lennie and the barman turned round and said 'you can't bring your dog in here', to which Jon replied, 'It's all right, it's not my dog!'.

Homer & Jethro once did a parody of Patti Page's "How Much is That Doggie in the Window," to wit:

    "How much is that hound dog in the window,
    With the basketball nose on his face?
    You know what a basketball nose is,
    It dribbles all over the place..." etc., ad nauseum

I also once heard a version of "Rex, The Piddling Pup" set to music. Any takers?

I've scanned through the list and don't see one my Daddy Claude (maternal grandfather) always sang: "Old Mickey Bralligan Had a Bullpup", which is what he gave as the title. Mom recalls that spelling, but I seem to recall "Brannigan". I'll have to find that tape to make certain.

DADDY CLAUDE'S VERSION:
Old Mickey Bralligan had a bullpup
Of very brave and elegant stock
Seventeen hours of hard battle he fought,
'Pon my soul, that he did, by the clock.

His tail was a very neat little stub,
Bowlegged and two crooked eyes,
...............................
'Twas the Devil himself, in disguise!

CHORUS:
For bow wow wow, what a dog to be sure
For fighting he'd never give up.
There never was known such a wonderful dog
As old Mickey Bralligan's pup.

He tore the tail off Maloney's best coat,
And the bustle off Mary Ann Flynn,
....................................
......... (I think this ends with "shin".)

He grabbed the Dutch shoemaker's dog,
And shook him around like a rat;
Hc murdered Tim Finnegan's beautiful goat,
Et the tail of McMonigan's cat.

CHORUS

An Italian come round playing organ one day
With a monkey tied on with a string
And when the dog spied the monkey
Oh! He gave a most wonderful spring.

He upset the grinder, monk and all
And bursted the organ's insides.
Bejaysus he tried to swallow that monk,
Got choked on his tail and died.

CHORUS

I can add the variations, if that's of any interest. We grandchildren LOVED this song, especially because Daddy Claude sang it in an Irish brogue and acted out bits of it. I think on the recording I have that he surprised Mom Flossie's cat, Duchess, who responded with an indignant meow exactly after "cat".
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The version below differs from my grandfather's version (above), which I plan to finish transcribing, having lost my earlier lyrics sheet. Most of this was from memory, and my memory isn't always trustworthy; I'll bet my Aunt Wanda would remember all of it. I know that a number of the names are lost or changed:

OL' MICKEY BRANNIGAN'S PUP
(Gus Phillips)

Ol' Mickey Brannigan had a bull pup
Bred of O'Lannigan stock,
Seventeen hours of battle he fought,
'Pon my soul, an' he did, by the clock.

cho: Bow-wow-wow-wow, what a pup, to be sure,
Fighting he'd never give up,
Never was known such a wonderful dog
As Ol' Mickey Brannigan's pup.

His tail was a neat little bit of stump,
Bowlegged and two crooked eyes,
A look at his darn ugly mug was enough:
'Twas the Devil himself, in disguisc!

He trod on the tail of Maloney's best coat,
On the bustle of Mary Ann Flynn,
Ravaging young Kitty Mulligan's leg,
Holy Mother! It was a great sin.

He grabbed up the Dutch shoemaker's dog,
Shook him around like a rat;
Hc murdered Tim Finnegan's beautiful goat,
Et the tail of McMonigan's cat.

A man came along with an organ one day,
Had a monkey tied fast by a string;
The dog, when he saw him, he yelled with delight
And made a most wonderful spring.

He jumped onto the Eye-talian's back,
Bursted the organ inside,
Tried to swallow the monkey,
But he choked on his tail and died.

Real Life by Jeff Carson mentions a dog in the very sad first of the song.

{first of the song}
I was young, he was old
we both were the same age
Everyday playing fetch, shaking hands
he'd lick my face

And I wasn't aware
The day would come
Then he died
For the first I knew what real pain was

And I never was the same again
From that moment on
Real life began

Subject: Lyr Add: LONE DOG (Irene Rutherford Mcleod)
From: Charley Noble
Date: 18 Apr 07 - 12:29 PM

There's also the poem of "The Lone Dog" which I added to another thread but why not paste it here as well:

By Irene Rutherford Mcleod English (1891- 19??)
From Louis Untermeyer, ed. (1885–1977). Modern British Poetry. ©1920, p. 164.

Lone Dog

I'm a lean dog, a keen dog, a wild dog, and lone;
I'm a rough dog, a tough dog, hunting on my own;
I'm a bad dog, a mad dog, teasing silly sheep;
I love to sit and bay the moon, to keep fat souls from sleep.

I'll never be a lap dog, licking dirty feet,
A sleek dog, a meek dog, cringing for my meat,
Not for me the fireside, the well-filled plate,
But shut door, and sharp stone, and cuff and kick, and hate.

Not for me the other dogs, running by my side,
Some have run a short while, but none of them would bide.
O mine is still the lone trail, the hard trail, the best,
Wide wind, and wild stars, and hunger of the quest!


Notes:

Irene Rutherford McLeod, Australian born on August 21, 1891, has written three volumes of direct and often distinguished verse, the best of which may be found in Songs to Save a Soul (1915) and Before Dawn (1918). The latter volume is dedicated to A. de Sélincourt, to whom she was married in 1919 after she had moved to the UK.

Cheerily,
Charley Noble

It wasn't that we didn't treat him OK
It wasn't that he wasn't given his way
Free room and board, he had nothing to pay
But still Uncle Walter went dancing that day.

Chorus:

He went da da da da da dancing with wolves
Werey wolves, scary wolves, hairy wolves too;
There's nothing on you that a wolf wouldn't chew
If you went out dancing, dancing and prancing,
If you went out dancing, went dancing with wolves!


Now a wolf is a creature tha roams with the pack;
When cornered or hungry, they're prone to attack;
I told him, "Be careful" I begged him in fact,
But now Uncle Walter is not coming back. (CHO)

Now some people think they can waltz with a bear,
Or polka with wolves, or birds in the air;
I say it's unlikely, exceedingly rare,
To find a wild creature, that's willing to meet you
To socialize, visit, or dance anywhere. (CHO)

Cheerily,
Charley Noble

I'd (temporarily) forgotten about George's song, and the Dog's Party mentioned by Jim Dixon above. I first heard the latter from Tom Paxton in about 1969 or 1970 (?) - it brought the house down :-)

A doggie stole a sausage
Cos he was underfed
The cook she saw him do it
And now poor doggie's dead!
And all the little doggies
Were very sad that night
They built a little tombstone
And on it they did write........

A doggie stole a sausage
Cos he was underfed etc ad infinitum

The nursery song "Hey Diddle Diddle" also mentions a little dog that "laughed to see such fun".
