Old Shep Lyrics - Alabama

When I was a lad 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 mill pond 

When I would've drowned beyond doubt 

But old Shep was right there, to the rescue he came 

He jumped in and helped pull me out 

As, the years passed and rolled, at last he grew old 

And his eyesight was fast growing dim. 

Then one day the doctor looked at me and said 

? I can't do no more for him, Jim?

I went to his side and sat on the ground 

And laid his old head on my knee 

Well, he was the best friend that I ever had 

I cried so I scarcely could see 

Old Sheppie he knew, he was going to go 

For he reached out and licked at my hand 

He looked up at me, just as much as to say 

We're parting but you understand

Now old Sheppie 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 for sure 

Old Shep has a wonderful home
