OLD TYLER

Old Tyler was a good old dog,
We thought he'd treed a coon,
But when we come to find it out,
Old Tyler was a-barking at the moon,
Lord, lord,
Old Tyler was a-barking at the moon.

Old Tyler was a good old dog,
We thought he'd treed a squirrel,
But when we come to find it out,
Old Tyler was a-barking at the world,...

Old Tyler started down the road,
He started at a run;
He had not gone but a little bitty piece
When he met Allygainy with a gun,...

Now Tyler, you did suck them eggs
And this will be your doom!
He sent a steel ball through his heart
And laid old Tyler in his tomb,...
