I am looking for the lyrics to the song "Old Yeller" the title song from the Disney Movie by the same name. I think it had 2 or 3 stanzas and a chorus that went. "Old Yeller, Come back Yeller, The best dogonne dog in the West". SOL ZELLER

"Old Yeller"

Old Yeller
Old Yeller
Old Yeller

Here Yeller,
Come back, Yeller!
Best doggone dog in the west!

Old Yeller was a mongrel
An Ugly lop-eared mongrel;
Fancy free without a family tree...

But he could up and do it,
And prove there's nothin' to it,
And that's how a good dog should be!

Here Yeller,
Come back, Yeller!
Best doggone dog in the west!
Best doggone dog in the west!

Old Yeller was a hunter
A rarin' tearin' hunter,
In any chase he knew just how to run...

And when he hunted trouble,
He always found it double,
And that's when Old Yeller had fun!

Here Yeller,
Come back, Yeller!
Best doggone dog in the west!
Best doggone dog in the west!

Old Yeller was a fighter
A rootin', tootin' fighter
In any scrap he knew just what to do.
A rough and ready feller
Although his coat was yeller
His bold texas heart was true blue

Here Yeller,
Come back, Yeller!
Best doggone dog in the west!

Here Yeller,
Come back, Yeller!
Best doggone dog in the west!

Best doggone dog in the west!

"Old Yeller (Reprise)"

Young Yeller is a puppy
A little 'ol lop-ear puppy;
It's plain to see he's got family tree...

The image of his pappy,
He's frisky and he's happy,
And that's how a good pup should be!

Here Yeller,
Come back, Yeller!
Best doggone dog in the west!

Here Yeller,
Come back, Yeller!
Best doggone dog in the west!

Best doggone dog in the west!

Thanks so much, Guest - I wept buckets over that film when I was a child. Saw it again on TV not too long ago and was surprised and pleased at how well it stands the test of time. Excellent performances, especially by the older boy (Tommy Kirk? Too lazy to google it) having to grapple with adult problems and be a "dad" to his younger brother when he's still only a kid himself.

So glad to see these words... now I can cry all over again... :-}
