29 Jan 13 - 06:14 PM (#3473233) Subject: ADD: Old Shep (Red Foley) From: Leadfingers As sung by Hank Snow. OLD SHEP Now when I was a lad and old Shep was a pup Over hills and valleys 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 swimming hole When I would have drowned beyond doubt But old Shep was right there to the rescue he came He jumped in and helped drag me out Now the years rolled along and at last he grew old His eye sight was fast growing dim Then one day the doctor looked at me and said I can't do no more for him Jim So with trembling hand I picked up my gun Aimed it at Shep's faithful head But I just couldn't do it I wanted to run[ I wished they would shoot me instead So I threw down that old gun ran right up to his side He laid his faithful old head right on my knee And friends I stroked the best pal that a man ever found I even cried so I scarsely could see Now old Shap he knew he knew he was going to go Cause he reached out and he licked at my hand Then he looked up at me just as much as to say I hate to but you understand Now old Shep is 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 |

29 Jan 13 - 07:44 PM (#3473291) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Does anyone have the lyrics to: From: Dave MacKenzie I've got more or less the same words, and it was, apparently, a Red Foley song. OLD SHEP When I was a lad and Old Shep was a pup Over hills and valleys we'd stray, Just a boy and a dog, we were both full of fun, We grew up together that way. I remember the time by the old swimming hole When I would have drowned beyond doubt, But Old Shep, he was there, to the rescue he came, He jumped in and helped pull me out. The years rolled on by and Old Shep he grew old, His eyesight was fast growing dim, Then one day the doctor looked at him and said "I can't do no more for him, Jim". With hands that were trembling I picked up my gun And I aimed it at Shep's faithful head, But I just couldn't do it, I wanted to run; I wished they would shoot me instead. I went to his side, I sat on the ground, Old Shep laid his head on my knee; I stroked the best pal a man ever had, I cried till I scarcely could see. Old Sheppie, he knew he was goin' to go For he reached up and licked at my hand, Then he looked at me just as much as to say "We're parting but I understand". Now Old Sheppie he's 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. By Red Foley. As sung by the Rambling Jack Elliott on Stateside LP SL 10143, "Country Style". |

29 Jan 13 - 10:07 PM (#3473359) Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Does anyone have the lyrics to: From: open mike when posting lyric requests it is best to put specific words in the subject line...so that the titles will identify the song... perhaps one of our editors (mud elves) can change the thread name to include OLD SHEP so that future searches will find it easier. Welcome Howie...hope you will join and come back often.. see membership link above. |

As well as: "Wikipedia" "On October 3, 1945, Presley at age ten sang "Old Shep" for his first public performance, a singing contest at the Mississippi-Alabama Fair and Dairy Show. Dressed as a cowboy, he stood on a chair to reach the microphone. He came in fifth place, winning $5 and a free ticket to the fair rides.[2]" |
