Old Shep Lyrics - Kinky Friedman

When I was a lad and old Shep was a pup 

Over hills and meadows wed stray 

Just a boy and his dog, we were both full of fun 

We grew up together that way 

I remember the time by the old swimming hole 

When I wouldve drowned beyond doubt 

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

He jumped in and helped pull me out 

Well, the years passed and rolled and old Shep, he grew old 

His eyes they were fast growing dim 

Then one day the doctor looked at me and said 

I cant do no more for him, Jim

With hands that were tremblin, I picked up my gun 

I aimed it at Sheps faithful head 

But I just couldnt do it, I wanted to run 

I wished they would shoot me instead 

Well, he crawled to my side and he looked up at me 

He laid his old head on my knee 

Id lost the best friend that a boy ever had 

I cried so I scarcely could see
