Blind Boy's Dog Lyrics - Hank Snow

I gave my dog to Uncle Sam in 1943 

He sailed across the sea 

And died for Liberty. 

Now that you are sending heroes home 

I just don't understand 

Why don't you send my dog home, Uncle Sam? 

He'd sleep beneath Old Glory 

Right here on Daddy's farm. 

I'd be close by 

To keep him from all harm. 

It's true no more he'll lead me 

Like he did in days of yore. 

He'll never be 

A blind boy's pal no more. 

No one knows how much I miss him 

And how lonesome now I am. 

Why don't you send my dog home, 

Uncle Sam.
