When I was a lad

and old Shep

was a P111)
Over hills and meadows

we't'l 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 01d

swimmin' hole
When I would have
drowned beyond doubt
But old Shep

was right there

To the rescue
he came
He jumped in and
then pulled me out

g
As the years
fast did roll

Old Shep he

grew old
His eyes were

fast growing dim
And one day the

doctor looked at
me and saidz
I can do no more

for him, Jim
With hands that
were trembling
I picked 11p my gun
And aimed it at
Shep's faithful head
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
And laid his old

head on my knee
I had su'uCk the
best friend that

a man ever had

g
I cried so I

scarcely could see
Old Shep he has gone

where the good
doggies g0
And 110 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
