Little Buddy Lyrics - Hank Snow

Broken hearted and so sad golden curls all wet with tears 

Twas a picture of sorrow to see 

Kneeling close to the side of his pal and only pride 

A little lad these words he told me 

He was such a lovely doggie and to me he was such fun 

But today as we played by the way 

A drunken man got mad at him because he barked in joy 

He beat him and he's dying here today 

Will you call the doctor please and tell him if he comes right now 

He'll save my precious buddy cause I'll pray 

Then he stroked the fluffy head but his little pal was dead 

Just a shiver and he slowly passed away 

He didn't know his dog had died so I told him as he cried 

Come with me son we'll get that doctor right away 

I can't leave him here alone I must get my doggie home 

So while you're gone sir I'll just kneel beside him here and I'll pray 

But when I returned he had his little pal upon his knee 

And the teardrops they were blinding his big blue eyes 

You're too late sir my doggie's dead and no help can save him now 

But I'll meet my precious buddy up in the sky
