Alabama Old Shep Lyrics

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 have 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 fast did roll
And at last he grew old
His eyesight was fast growing dim
Then one day the doctor looked at me
and said I can do no more for him Jim

I went to his side
Ans 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 Shep 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 y ou understand

Now Shep he has 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
