Lyrics
When I was a boy, and Old Shep was a pup Over hills and meadows we'd play 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 hole When I would've drowned, beyond doubt But shep was right there – to the rescue he came Jumped in and helped pull me out Years rolled on by – and Old Shep, he grew old His eyesight was fast growing dim And onе day, the doctor looked at me and said "Can't do anymorе for him, Jim..." With hands that were trembling, I picked up my gun And I aimed it at Shep's faithful head But I just couldn't do it, I wanted to run I wished they'd shoot me instead I knelt down and held him, and he looked up at me Then he laid his old head on my knee And I stroked the best friend that a man ever had And cried so I scarcely could see Old Shep, he knew he was going to go For he reached out and licked at my hand And then he looked up at me, just as much as to say "We're parting, but you understand" Now Old Shep, he's gone where the good doggies go And no more with Shep will I roam But if dogs have a heaven, there's one thing I know Old Shep has a wonderful home Old Shep has a wonderful home
