Dr. John did one called "How come my dog don't bark when you come round"

I've seen this one attributed to Buck Owens. I'll see what I can find out.

Lyrics:

I got the baddest dog.
He'll bite anybody.
He bit my little brother,
Took a chunk out of my old sweet little mother
He bit the mailman
he sees him EVERY day.
He takes one look at you
he wanna jump up and play.

Now I ain't got a clue as to what you puttin' down,
but How come my dog don't bark when YOU come round?

My dog is dangerous.
To try to set people straight
I even bought a "bad dog" sign
and hung it on the gate.
Now here you come trippin'
about a quarter to nine,
Full of that Night Train wine,
Trying to slide past the sign.
My dog's layin', noddin' off,
ain't payin' you NO mind.

That's MY DOG & when I come home he don't sleep that sound.
How come my dog don't bark when YOU come round?
