Old Shep - Jim Reeves. Seq - Redsal. Kar - Bunty Pritchard Jones.

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 swimming pool,
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 roam,
Old Shep he grew old,
His eyes were fast growing dim,

And one day the Doctor looked at me, and said,
"I can't do no more for him, Jim".

With hands that were trembling,
I picked up my gun,

And aimed it at Shep's faithful head,
But I just couldn't do it,

I wanted to run,
I wished they would shoot me instead.

He came to my side, and he looked up at me,
And laid his old head on my knee.

I stroked the best friend that a man ever had.
I cried so, I scarcely could see.

Old 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 I know,
Old Shep has a wonderful home.

Old 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 I know,

Old Shep has a wonderful home.
