My father used to play the guitar and sing a song that contains the lyrics "Dirty Old Egg Suckin Hound". I have been trying to find out who wrote the song, what the lyrics are, and if anyone recorded the song. I hope to use this song as my father/ daughter dance for my October wedding. If anyone has any information on this song, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks!

Michelle

DIRTY OLD EGG-SUCKING DOG
Words and music by Jack H. Clement
As recorded by Johnny Cash on "Everybody Loves a Nut" (Columbia Records CS 9292, 1966)

Well, he's not very handsome to look at.
Aw! he's shaggy and eats like a hog,
And he's always killin' my chickens,
That dirty old egg-suckin' dog.

Egg-suckin' dog,
I'm gonna stomp your head in the ground,
If you don't stay out of my hen house,
You dirty old egg-suckin' hound.

Now if he don't stop eatin' my eggs up,
Though I'm not a real bad guy,
I'm goin' to get my rifle and send him
To that great chicken house in the sky.

Egg-suckin' dog,
You're always a-hangin' around,
But you'd better stay out of my hen house,
You dirty old egg-suckin' hound.

Typos! typos! typos!

The third verse should read: "Though I'm not a real bad guy"

I can never think of this with out being reminded of Johnny Cash's appearance on the muppet show in wich this song led to gonzo and his chicken haram rioting against the dog pianest who was trying to refute the accuzation.
