Subject: ADD: My Dog Sam (Bill Harley) From: Joe Offer Date: 24 Apr 16 - 11:20 PM My dog Ralph died today, so I've been thinking about dog songs. I'm glad I found this thread. I came across a song called "My Dog Sam" when I was working on the Rise Again songbook last year. My dog already had congestive heart failure, so I knew he didn't have long to live. This song really struck me. MY DOG SAM (Bill Harley) My dog Sam was a good old dog He was my best friend Now he's gone & he won't be back And I'll never see him again / I'll never see him again My mom brought him from the pound / When I was only 3 She gave him baths, my dad gave him bones But he mostly belonged to me / He mostly… Sam chased rabbits, Sam chased squirrels One time he caught a skunk We washed him in tomato juice But you know that dog still stunk / You know… The first night that I slept outside I was so scared I thought I'd die The sky was big & the night was dark But Sam stayed right by my side / He slept… The other night I woke from sleep I knew something was wrong I'd seen Sam in my dreams And I knew that old Sam was gone I've still got Sam's tennis ball I keep it in my penny can I'm gonna get me another dog But I'll never get another Sam ——w & m: Bill Harley © 1986 Round River Music/Bill Harley https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qafbV7ehTcA |

Subject: Lyr Add: LITTLE WAXY (Cicely Fox Smith) From: Charley Noble Date: 13 Jan 12 - 08:59 PM Has anyone suggested that this thread should be "curtailed"? There's a whole set of Cicely Fox Smith poems about hunting dogs. Here's a sample: Little Waxy Wake, little Waxy! Hunting-time again, The short days and goodly, the clean Autumn rain: In the old North country, in the grey open weather, Hounds upon the moorland chiming all together. This year in dough and hollow the stream's song sounds the same: On every windy hillside the grasses burn like flame: Where the empty air is loud with the peewit's lonely crying And the call o' the moorland gale to the bird's call replying. Wake, little Waxy! Voices that you know Set the upland ringing where the hill-breezes blow; In the brave North country, in the grey open weather, Up and Join the chorus, hound and horn together! Ah, little Waxy! Hunting days are done, Nevermore the brown field and the rain and the sun – Only the memories left, o'er the Autumn fields that hover, Of the brave runs ended, lass, the good days over! Notes: From Lancashire Hunting Songs and Other Moorland Lays, edited by Cicely Fox Smith, published by J. E. Cornish, Ltd., Manchester, UK, © 1909, p. 11, and originally published in Country Life magazine. Cheerily, Charley Noble |

Subject: Lyr Add: BIRD DOG + IT'S A DOG'S LIFE (McCutcheon From: Bettynh Date: 13 Jan 12 - 04:19 PM From John McCutcheon's website: BIRD DOG ISong credits: words & music by John McCutcheon & Si Kahn I was trained to point and fetch Beneath the hunter's gun But at the trials I failed my test 'Cause I love everyone No bird has ever done me harm And I wish them no ill And though I will not hunt at all I am a bird dog still Chorus: I am a bird dog watch me fly My nose into the wind Leaping through the sky With my fine feathered friends Oh, our lives are much too short And our time is not our own May I live and die A faithful bird dog I do not try to disappoint Or mean to disobey There is no reason you'd suspect I'd go another way For we are born to what we are With choices we must make I see no point in taking sides I see no sides to take Chorus This is the mystery at the heart: You would fly if just you could And ever faithful I would keep you Safe within the wood Some think that when you lose your dreams You come crashing to the ground Still others fear the thing they love And live to bring it down Chorus ©1997 John McCutcheon/Appalsongs (ASCAP) and Joe Hill Music (ASCAP) IT'S A DOG'S LIFE Song credits: words & music John McCutcheon & Si Kahn for Zöe and Obray Chorus: It's a dog's life as the family pet The more you beg, the more you get Eat like a horse, sleep like a log It's a dog's life when you're the family dog Letter carrier coming up the walk Think I'll go over and have a little talk Have you got any mail for me today? Or are you gonna holler "Get away! Get away!" Chorus When we go to the mountains, when we go to the beach They keep those kids on a mighty short leash Mom's doggone tired at the end of the day Just a-trying to keep all those little puppies at bay Chorus When they finally go to bed I'm working really hard Howlin' at the moon and diggin' up the yard Dad'll start growling in the middle of the night But his bark is a whole lot worse than his bite Chorus For the kids and the cat and the Pa and Ma I've got a cold nose and a warm paw So don't get a gerbil or a hamster or a frog Get yourself a friend! Get a dog! Get a dog! Chorus ©1998 John McCutcheon/Appalsongs (ASCAP) & Joe Hill Music (ASCAP) |

Subject: RE: Songs About Dogs From: Ebbie Date: 31 Jul 11 - 08:09 PM As ranger1 said back in '07, Mudcatter KT wrote 'It's a Dog's Life.' The first verse goes: I'll fetch that stick yet one more time If you really want me to I'll happily run into the water again And bring it back to you But I can't understand it and I have to say If you want it so bad why do you throw it away? But I'm happy to be here and happy to say It's a dog's life, after all. It is on her CD 'Changin' of the Seasons.' |

Subject: Lyr Add: DOG (Tom Dundee, via Bryan Bowers) From: saulgoldie Date: 31 Jul 11 - 05:13 PM I can't understand how often this song is overlooked. It is called "Dog," by the late, great Tom Dundee. I heard it done exquisitely by Bryan Bowers on the "autoparts." I play it wherever I go. For some reason, it does not seem to have, um, legs. I will gladly provide the chords to anyone who asks. It is v-e-r-y simple to play. Heck, *I* can play it. That should give you an idea... DOG Written by Tom Dundee As recorded by Bryan Bowers on "By Heart" The whole thing started 'cause it looked like fun When other people had a dog; "I'm gonna get me one," I said, "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. The next few weeks were certainly strange Between the barkin' and the thinkin' up of names Old Blue he wasn't and Spot didn't really apply So I settled for Harry, just because That's how he is and that's how he was And that's how the house gets more and more as days go by. For a time I was careful where I sat The rug got funky and he chewed up my hat And it still happens once in a while when he gets mad But it's been pretty even after all I taught him what I know about playin' ball And he's helped me get rid of a lot of stuff I used to have. Sometimes friends drop by for a couple of beers And we all sit around, take turns rubbin' his ears And callin' him; it's been that way ever since he was a pup. He sleeps on the bed and when I turn over, He turns over, then I turn over, Then he turns over, then I turn over, and we get up. As my life keeps movin' through the different conditions The big changes come with the slightest decisions You're in for a surprise when you think you got it figured, I've found. 'Cause who ever thought I'd ever dote on a pet, But lookin' back now, I always forget How I filled up the time before my dog was around. |

Subject: RE: Songs About Dogs From: Jim Dixon Date: 29 Jul 10 - 04:41 PM Whoa! I just read the lyrics of DAD GAVE MY DOG AWAY, which was recorded by T. Texas Tyler, and which Gene posted above, back in 2007. The same thing happened to me. There were a few differences, though. He didn't give me a bike, but he did give me $20. I suppose I could have bought a good bike for $20 or less in those days, and I definitely wanted a bike, but I didn't want that $20. I accepted it, because I had no choice, really—the dog would have been given away whether I accepted the money or not. I can't remember what, if anything, I eventually spent it on. It probably sat in my drawer for months. I never heard of the record until now. I just looked it up—Billboard says it came out in 1959. That's about the same time, give or take a year or two, that I lost my dog. If I had known the record existed, I probably would have bought that—and played it over and over until Dad gave the record player away, too. Well, that's what I wish I had done, looking back on it now. |

Subject: Lyr Add: THE POWER OF THE DOG (Rudyard Kipling) From: GUEST,Songbob Date: 28 Jun 10 - 01:55 PM Not a song, I think, but Rudyard Kipling said it pretty well: THE POWER OF THE DOG There is sorrow enough in the natural way From men and women to fill our day; But when we are certain of sorrow in store, Why do we always arrange for more? Brothers and sisters I bid you beware Of giving your heart to a dog to tear. Buy a pup and your money will buy Love unflinching that cannot lie-- Perfect passion and worship fed By a kick in the ribs or a pat on the head. Nevertheless it is hardly fair To risk your heart for a dog to tear. When the fourteen years that nature permits Are closing in asthma or tumors or fits And the vet's unspoken prescription runs To lethal chambers, or loaded guns. Then you will find--its your own affair But--you've given your heart to a dog to tear. When the body that lived at your single will When the whimper of welcome is stilled (how still!) When the spirit that answered your every mood Is gone--wherever it goes--for good, You still discover how much you care And will give your heart to a dog to tear. We've sorrow enough in the natural way When it comes to burying Christian clay. Our loves are not given, but only lent, At compound interest of cent per cent. Though it is not always the case, I believe, That the longer we've kept 'em the more do we grieve; For when debts are payable, right or wrong, A short time loan is as bad as a long-- So why in Heaven (before we are there) Should we give our hearts to a dog to tear? Bob |

Subject: RE: Songs About Dogs From: GUEST,Hoss Date: 26 Jun 10 - 11:45 PM I remember there being a blurgrass song that Grandpa Jones sung called "Roll Over Rover, Roll Over" I only heard it once on satellite radio quite some time ago and havent been abile to find any info on the song what so ever, Like what year it was made or if it was released or if any other artists in the same genre also picked it up and preformed it. It was a song about an old hound named Rover that was old and lazy basicly. |

Subject: Lyr Add: GOOD HAT, GOOD DOG, GOOD BOAT From: deepdoc1 Date: 20 Mar 10 - 12:12 PM Here's Good Hat, Good Dog, Good Boat from Them Eastport Oyster Boys. "A good hat, a good dog, a good boat" Were Willie's partin' words; that's all he wrote. Said: "You boys, you listen to me. All you need is just these three: A good hat, a good dog, a good boat." "A good hat can keep you cool when it's hot. A good hat can keep you warm when it's not. Keep your brain all safe and dry When the rain falls from the sky. A good hat's what you need; that's not a lot. "A good hat, a good dog, a good boat" Were Willie's partin' words, now quote unquote. "You don't need no limousine Or a castle with a big old moat; Just a good hat, a good dog, a good boat. "A good dog will be your very bestest friend. A good dog will stick with you through thick and thin. They won't fuss when you come home late, Give y' a big kiss and then they'll shake. A good dog will be your very bestest friend. "A good hat, a good dog, a good boat" Were Willie's partin' words; that's all he wrote. You can lead a life of grace and ease If you set these priorities: A good hat, a good dog, a good boat. [break] "A good boat is all you need to get around. A good boat will take you where you're bound. She will take you near and far. When you're there, that's where you are. A good boat's all you need to get around." "Now, Willie my old friend, I do agree. You can lead a peaceful life with just those three, But I like a woman's company. Ask any guy, he'll agree. Where do women fit in your philosophy?" Then he said, "Let's consider women for a minute. They'll judge you by your hat and how you look in it. But if they like the way you float your boat, Then you hold her tight and don't let go As long as your good dog ain't agin it." "A good hat, a good dog, a good boat" Were Willie's partin' words; that's all he wrote. "You can lead a life of grace and ease If you set these priorities: A good hat, a good dog, a good boat. A good hat, a good dog, a good boat. A good hat, a good dog, a good boat." |

Subject: RE: Songs About Dogs From: GUEST,Catherine Date: 20 Mar 10 - 10:53 AM I just heard the music "Carnival of Venice" James Galway playing flute. It reminded me of a song to that tune my 'folk' singing cousin and his mates used sing. A doggie once found a sausage, Upon the kitchen floor The cook she saw him take it and kicked him out the door. ......... more verse ......... Now on that night the doggie Was very sad you see ............? I Dont remember any more! |

Subject: RE: Songs About Dogs From: An Buachaill Caol Dubh Date: 20 Mar 10 - 09:22 AM Not a song about Dogs (except, perhaps, in the sense "sons o' bitches"), but there's a verse from "The Battle of New Orleans" which always makes me laugh, which in Lonnie Donnegan's version goes, "They ran through the briars, And they ran through the brambles, And they ran through the bushes Where the rabbits couldn't go; They ran so fast that the hounds couldn't catch them-O, Down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico." |

Subject: Lyr Add: OLD SHEP From: GUEST,Catherine Date: 20 Mar 10 - 04:44 AM Elvis sang a song "Old Shep" makes me cry every time! ELVIS VOLUME 2 (EP) (US) RCA EPA 993 Released: December 1956 Side 1 So Glad You're Mine Old Shep Side 2 Ready Teddy Anyplace Is Paradise OLD SHEP [also here] 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 I remember the time at the old swimmin' hole When I would have drowned beyond doubt But old Shep was right there To the rescue he came He jumped in and then pulled me out As the years fast did roll Old Shep he grew 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 He came to my side And looked up at me And laid his old head on my knee I had struck the best friend that a man ever had I cried so I scarcely could see Old Shep he 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 Written by Foley and Westpar |

Subject: Lyr Add: BADGER 'N' DOG (Fred Bailey) From: GUEST,Fred Bailey Date: 10 Mar 10 - 08:26 PM May I submit a memory from my own growing up in Dust Bowl country? Dave Macon's "Stay in the Wagon Yard" works for a melody. THE BADGER'N DOG (c) Fred Bailey Me'n my brother and our ol' dog and a kid from across the road Went out 'a-huntin' along the crik, couple-a weeks ago With a Barlow knife and a .22 for whatever game was there Moose or two or a caribou or a big ol' grizzly bear Now the first show was we shot a crow but he up't 'n flew away Then we found a catamount track, followed him half a day We built a campfire up on the bank jus' like the hunters do Et some peanut butter 'n jam 'n called it rabbit stew Then we settled back to smoke some cig-areets and talk awhile Hell, we ain't scairt of nothin', this huntin' fits our style Out in the woods there ain't no grown-up chores or giggley girls Maybe someday we won't come back, just hunt clear 'round the world But that ol' dog was 'a-sniffin' 'round this hole that was in the bank When a big ol' badger come down the crick, movin' like a tank That dog took him and he took for his hole but the fire got in the way If that .22'd 'a-been loaded, man we'd-a blowed him clean away When the badger'n dog come through that fire it looked like judgement day We's 'a-cussin' an 'a-yellin' an 'a-sic-in' 'em on, kickin' fire ever' which way Somehow John got smacked in the head with the barrel of the .22 An he fell in the fire and burned his pants when the badger'n dog come through When the smoke cleared all that we could hear was a kind of a muffled bark (WOOF!) That ol' dog was buried in the bank clean up to his hind parts And I was bit and John was burnt but a lesson we learnt that day That badger'n dog is a fearsome beast 'n ya better not git in his way! |

Subject: RE: Songs About Dogs From: Rowan Date: 10 Mar 10 - 05:11 PM Recited: As I came down Talbingo Hill I heard a maiden cry "There goes old Bill the bullocky! He's bound for Gundagai." Well, a better poor old bugger never earned an honest crust and a tougher bullock driver never drug his whip through dust! Bill's team got bogged on Five Mile Creek; Bill lashed and cursed and cried, "If Nobby don't get me out of this I'll tattoo his flamin' hide!" Well Nobby strained and broke the yoke and poked out Baldy's eye and the dog shat in the tucker box five miles from Gundagai! followed by singing the song, "Five Miles from Gundagai", also often referred to as "Nine Miles from Gundagai". Cheers, Rowan |

Subject: RE: Songs About Dogs From: Bounty Hound Date: 10 Mar 10 - 05:05 PM There is a story, common across East Anglia, of a big black dog, with flaming eyes, to see the dog is to die, so difficult to be certain that the dog really exists, as there are, of course, no witnesses! The dog is known by various names, most commonly 'Black Shuck' My theory is that it was essentially a 'bogey man' story, to keep people in at night. Why this rambling in a thread about songs relating to dogs I hear you ask. A few years ago I wrote a song about said dog, which the Bounty Hounds perform regularly. You can find the song on our myspace page. http://www.myspace.com/thebountyhounds look for 'Eyes of Flame' in the music player. And before anyone asks, I didn't use the dogs name in the song because I couldn't find a rhyme with 'Shuck' |

Subject: Lyr Add: THE DOG IN THE MICROWAVE (Ken Johnson) From: Gweltas Date: 30 Jul 09 - 07:45 PM Having scooted as quickly as possible through all the previous posts in this thread I was surprised that nobody seems to have mentioned that wonderfully gruesome dog parody to the tune of "The Lincolnshire Poacher", called "The Dog In The Microwave". Perhaps someone already has .......... if so my apologies. THE DOG IN THE MICROWAVE Words: Ken Johnson. Tune : "The Lincolnshire Poacher" There was a wife of Lincolnshire. To market she did go. She took her dog for company across the ice and snow. Returning from the market, they got drenched in freezing rain, So she put her dog in the microwave to dry him out again, Yes she put her dog in the microwave to dry him out again. A passer-by saw the cloud of smoke and called the Fire Brigade. The firemen cried, "Don't panic! We are here to give you aid. No need to make a statement, for we know what you will say: That you put your dog in the microwave—the second one today." Oh, she put her dog in the microwave—the second one today. A veterinary surgeon locally had an office on the street. The wife begged him to resurrect this blackened lump of meat. The surgeon started laughing. He guffawed, "This dog is wrecked. If you put your dog in the microwave, what more do you expect? If you put your dog in the microwave, what more do you expect?" Her husband, he came from work, calling, "Honey, here I am. Your cooking smells delicious. Is it chicken, pork or lamb?" The wife began to tremble, and a tear came to her eye. "Oh, I put the dog in the microwave, just like a slice of pie." Oh, she put her dog in the microwave, just like a slice of pie. The neighbours were inquisitive, and tactlessly enquired, "We haven't seen your doggy. Has he recently expired?" The wife was shaking terribly, and she began to howl, "Oh, I put my dog in the microwave. I should have used a towel." Oh, she put her dog in the microwave. She should have used a towel. She went to see a medium, who charged a hefty fee. She said, "We must communicate for the dog was dear to me." An ectoplasmic dog appeared and started wailing like a ghost, "OOOOOOOOh you put me the microwave and frazzled me to toast." OOOOOOh, she put the dog in the microwave and frazzled it to toast. She sued the manufacturers whose oven she had bought. "These ovens are too dangerous," she sobbed in open court. "You didn't read the manual," the lawyers said. "Just see: If you put your dog in the microwave, it voids the guarantee. If you put your dog in the microwave, it voids the guarantee." The whole affair was featured on the early evening news. The RSPCA complained of grievous dog abuse. The Chinese correspondent sent a simple message back: "If you put your dog in the microwave, it makes a tasty snack. If you put your dog in the microwave, it makes a tasty snack." |

Subject: Lyr Add: WALKING WITH RUDY (George Bohrer) From: GUEST,Commdoc Date: 30 Jul 09 - 03:28 PM Walking with Rudy At six I'm walking with Rudy and by seven I'm home. Hot cup of coffee and the morning radio. Then I open the paper to see who's made the grave. Jump into the shower, shampoo and a shave. Chorus Day of the week, season of the year Activate my mind get my body in gear. Water rushes the river and the snow's melting fast. You can build your stony dams but you know they won't last. When I'm walking with Rudy, he doesn't worry about how. Rudy's in the moment; Rudy's mindful, he's now. Chorus When I'm walking with friends the talk tangents on. Turn to the east, missed the glow of the dawn. When I'm walking with Rudy I can take time to see. Eagles flashes the river, then he's carrying me. Chorus Copyright George Bohrer |

Subject: RE: Songs About Dogs From: maple_leaf_boy Date: 05 Dec 08 - 10:01 PM Nobody's mentioned "Dirty Old Egg Sucking Dog" ? by Johnny Cash. Bob Saget wrote a very disgusting, but very hilarious song for a dog. He plays it in his stand-up routine. (Should I mention the title, because even the title is gross sounding). |
