Ole Lonesome George The Basset Lyrics - Country Songs For Children - Tom T. Hall

Ole lonesome George the basset lived in Brentwood Tennessee 

And even though he had his faults he was a sight to see 

He taught the show dog puppies to always try and please 

To hold their heads and tails up and not wet the judge's knees 

Ole George was not a champion but his owners loved him so 

They drived the car to the dogshows ole George would get the dough 

But when he'd get out in the rain he never could win first 

Several judges shook their heads and said he was the worst 

Then one day the kannel keeper got an urgent call 

From the local TV to Mr Tom T Hall 

They said Johnny Cash is puttin' on the show tonight 

He says he needs a basset you've got one ain't that right 

Lonesome George went to the show and he did everything 

He barked and growled and jumped around and made the rappers ring 

He'd left the people cheering for another curtain call 

And so ole lonesome George became the show dog after all mhm
