Ballad Of A Country Dog

 


My brain is bound up, can’t see past my eyes

I’m weak as a pup, got ticks in my ears and flies

If somebody would give me some love

If somebody would give me some love

If somebody would give me some love

I would be so surprised

 

I'm stretched on a rack, ain’t it hard to believe

I’m flat on my back with no slack, aint got no time to grieve

If somebody would give me a shove

If somebody would give me a shove

If somebody would give me a shove

I would be happy to leave

 

And I'd like to get back, get back home

Get back home to you

And do the Ballad of a country dog

Bringin’ home them funky bone blues

 

My brain is bound up, can’t see past my eyes

I’m weak as a pup, got ticks in my ears and flies

If somebody would give me some love

If somebody would give me some love

If somebody would give me some love

I would be so surprised

 

I’d like to get back, get back home

Get back home to you

And do the Ballad of a country dog

Bringin’ home them funky bone blues

 

Ballad of a Country Dog

 

Repeat
