When I was a lad
and old Shep was a pup
Over hills and meadows

we'd stray
and old Shep was a pup

Over hills and meadows

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 swimmin' hole

When I would have

together that way
I remember the time at
the old swimmin' hole
When I would have

drowned beyond doubt
the old swimmin' hole

When I would have

drowned beyond doubt
But old Shep was right
there to the rescue

drowned beyond doubt
But old Shep was right

there to the rescue

he came
As the years fast did roll
old Shep he grew old
His eyes were

fast growing dim
old Shep he grew old

His eyes were

fast growing dim
His eyes were

fast growing dim
And one day the doctor
looked at me and said
I can do no more

fast growing dim
And one day the doctor
looked at me and said
I can do no more

for him Jim
looked at me and said

I can do no more

for him Jim
With hands that

were trembling

for him Jim
With hands that

were trembling

I picked up my gun
faithful head

I just couldn't do it

I wanted to run
I just couldn't do it

I wanted to run
I wish they would

shoot me instead
He came to my side
and looked up at me

shoot me instead
He came to my side
and looked up at me

And laid his old head

on my knee
and looked up at me

And laid his old head

on my knee
I had struck the best
friend that a man

ever had lcried so

lscarcely could see I
ever had lcried so

I scarcely could see
Old Shep he has gone

where the good doggies go
And no more with

I scarcely could see
Old Shep he has 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

old Shep will I roam
But if dogs have a heaven

there's one thing I know
Old Shep has a
wonderful home
