Red Dog

Red Dog,
Nose to the ground,
Red Dog,
Runnin’ around,

Red Dog,
Here he comes,
Red Dog,
There he runs,

Red Dog,
Chasin’ through the holler,
Red Dog,
Here I foller,

Red Dog,
Leadin’ the pack,
Red Dog,
Comin’ right back,

Red Dog,
Scratchin’ his ear,
Red Dog,
The game is near,

Red Dog,
Tree that girl,
Red Dog,
That tail did twirl,

Red Dog,
Worked so hard,
Red Dog,
Played in his yard.

(My little red dog,
rolled on the ground,
my tired little red dog,
slept without making,
a Sound….)
