Lyrics-
[Verse 1]
Once I had a little dog
I called him Cracker Jack
He had a spot around one eye
That looked just like a patch
His legs were way too long
And he was awkward as could be
He wasn’t much to look at
But he looked alright to me
I found him by the river bank
Just wondering about
He was cold and hungry
And his ribs were sticking out
I snapped my fingers, whistled
When he came, I picked him up
I was just a kid, and Cracker Jack was just a pup
I took him home and fed him
Till he couldn’t eat no more
I took him to my room
And put a blanket on the floor
After that beside my bed
Is where he’d always sleep
Each night in my prayers
I prayed the lord his soul to keep[Chorus]
Cracker Jack
The best friend that I ever had was Cracker Jack
But he was more than that
A play mate, a companion
He was love and understanding
That was Cracker Jack
The best friend that I ever had was Cracker Jack
But he was more than that
Everything a kid could want
I had in Cracker Jack
Verse 2]
Cracker Jack would run to meet me
After school each day
He’d jump and wag his tail
And look at me as if to say
“I love you and I’ve missed you and I’m glad you’re home again”
I knew just how you felt ’cause me and Cracker Jack was friends
Through the woods and fields
We would often roam about
And when we got in trouble
We would help each other out
I could run almost as fast as Cracker Jack could run
We had a lot in common and we had a lot of fun
He was always with me when I was growing up
We shared each other’s good times
And we shared each other’s love
He only lives in memories now
But often I think back
To the days of childhood
The days of Cracker Jack[Chorus]
Cracker Jack
The best friend that I ever had was Cracker Jack
But he was more than that
A play mate, a companion
He was love and understanding
That was Cracker Jack
The best friend that I ever had was Cracker Jack
But he was more then that
Everything a kid could want
I had in Cracker Jack

The ice is melting in my glass
There’s a storm out on the ocean
A picture in a golden frame lying cracked and broken
If you lined up all the losers and stood them in my shoes
They’d put me on a pedestal and crown me prince of fools
‘Cause even though you did me wrong, my heart denies the fact
If you give me half a chance, you’ll know I’ll take you back
If there’s a fool born every minute
Then I’m the man of the hour
Seems I’ve been living a lie for so long now
If there’s a spot light then I’m in it
‘Cause I haven’t got the power
To know when love is over
I’m the man of the hour
There’s a time for giving up on love
And a time to stay and fight
I would give anything to be with you tonight
God I must be twisted cause I know your just no good
If you asked me to blind my eyes, then Girl you know I would
If there’s a fool born every minute
Then I’m the man of the hour
Seems I’ve been living a lie for so long now
If there’s a spot light then I’m in it
‘Cause I haven’t got the power
To know when love is over
I’m the man of the hour
Only stabbin’ from my heart let it beat again
In my world of self-illusion only you can stop the pain
Even though you did me wrong, my heart denies the fact
If you give me half a chance, you’ll know I’ll take you back
If there’s a fool born every minute
Then I’m the man of the hour
Seems I’ve been living a lie for so long now
If there’s a spot light then I’m in it
‘Cause I haven’t got the power
To know when love is over
I’m the man of the hour
There’s a fool born every minute
There’s a spot light then I’m in it
There’s a fool born every minute
There’s a spot light then I’m in it
There’s a fool born every minute

King went a-running after deer
Wasn’t scared of jumping off the truck in high gear
King went a-sniffing and he would go
Was the best old hound dog
I ever did know[Verse 1]
I had a dog and his name was King
I told the dog about everything
There in my truck the dog and I
Then one day the King up and died
Then I thought about the times we had
Once when I kicked him when he was bad
Old King sure meant a lot to me
But that hound dog is history[Verse 2]
That old King was a friend of mine
Never knew a dog that was half as fine
I may find one, you never do know
Because I still got a long way to go
I had a dog and his name was King
I told the dog about everything
Old King sure meant a lot to me
But that hound dog is history

There’s something with the way you walk
There’s something there that lights a spark inside of me
And it makes me want to sing
Makes me forget everything
There’s something there inside your eyes
Lets me know you’d never lie
You fill me up and I know what you need
Do you know what you mean to me?Well I watch you sleep sometimes and it feels like the first time
And you’re always on my mind
Everyday is like the first day
And I talk to you sometimes even though you never talk back
And I buy you things sometimes ’cause I don’t mindThere’s something strange, I can’t get mad
Even when you’re being bad – just look at me, and I forget everything
I try but I can’t be mean
You sit by me and I scratch your back
You lick my hands then I get a rash, but that’s okay
Because we, we are a team
You make a mess and then I cleanWell I watch you sleep sometimes and it feels like the first time
And you’re always on my mind
Everyday is like the first day
And I talk to you sometimes even though you never talk back
And I buy you things sometimes ’cause I don’t mindThere’s something with the way you act
Makes me laugh when you chase the cats
You chase ’em around
And when it’s close to feeding time, you stare at me and whine
You won’t lay down, you’ll hardly sit
I give you a bath when you smell like sh*t
But you don’t mind
And we go out every now and then
And when you’re done then we come back inWell I watch you sleep sometimes and it feels like the first time
And you’re always on my mind
Everyday is like the first day
And I talk to you sometimes even though you never talk back
And I buy you things sometimes ’cause I don’t mind
Yeah I don’t mind

Up the back bone ridge
How many times can one dog pee
She keeps me high as an eagle
When I’m on the skids
I guess you gotta come down eventuallyBuddy I coulda gone that extra mile
For an extra bark or an extra smile
’cause I never felt so free
It was just my dog and meThen she gives me that look
Like she’d lay down her life
No doubt she would in a minute, man
She’d face the bullet
Oh she’d face the knife
Just to keep my butt from the fryin’ panNow she’s runnin’ up ahead to chase some deer
Comes back to tell that coast is clear
It’s a different world I see
When it’s just my dog and meThere’s a rabbit on the run
Man and beast ans sky and sun
Who’s talking to the birds in the trees
Why its just my dog and me
Now it looks like we’ve been makin’ tracks
From the crack of dawn
To the end of the day
So its nice and easy down the devil’s back
She wouldn’t know
Any other wasSo its over that ridge for one last mile
’til we’re fast asleep by the fire side
Dreamin’ these dreams for free
Just my dog and me

I remember to this day
The bright red Georgia clay
And how it stuck to the tires
After the summer rain
Will power made that old car go
A woman’s mind told me that so
Oh how I wish
We were back on the road againMe and you and a dog named Boo
Travelling and living off the land
Me and you and a dog named Boo
How I love being a free manI can still recall
The wheat fields of St. Paul
And the morning we got caught
Robbing from an old hen
Old McDonald he made us work
But then he paid us for what it was worth
Another tank of gas
And back on the road againMe and you and a dog named Boo
Travelling and living off the land
Me and you and a dog named Boo
How I love being a free manI’ll never forget the day
We motored stately into big L.A
The lights of the city put settling
Down in my brain
Though it’s only been a month or so
That old car’s bugging us to go
We’ve gotta get away and get back on
The road againMe and you and a dog named Boo
Travelling and living off the land
Me and you and a dog named Boo
How I love being a free man

You made me weep and moan
You made me feel so blue
You made me weep and moan
Cause you ain’t looking for a woman
All you’re lookin’ is for a home[Chorus]

Bandit was a black lab, Daddy brought home
He said, “Son he’s yours from now on”
Bandit looked at me and he co*cked his head
Slept at night on the foot of my bed
All that year, I can see him still
Chasing after me, nipping at my heels
Down to the bus stop, my new best friend
Still waiting right there when I got home again[Chorus]
And I thought we would be together
Go on and on just like that, forever
But I was young back then
I guess I just didn’t know
Little boys grow up and dogs get old[Verse 2]
He was my sidekick through thick and thin
And he’d bark at my fish when I’d reel ’em in
Summers came and went and we grew like weeds
And I don’t know if I raised him or he raised me[Chorus]
And I thought we would be together
Go on and on just like that, forever
But I was young back then
How was I supposed to know
Little boys grow up and dogs get old[Bridge]
He was fourteen when I left for Tennessee
And he came down the front porch steps a little slow
I got down to hug his neck
Said “you take care of Mom and Dad, ’til I get home”
“And be a good boy”
“Now you be a good boy”[Chorus]
And I thought we would be together
Go on and on just like that, forever
But I was young back then
God I wish I didn’t know
Little boys grow up and dogs get old

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[Verse 2]
I remember the time at the old swimmin’ hold
When I would have drowned beyond doubt
But old Shep was right there
To the rescue he came
He jumped in and then pulled me out[Verse 3]
As the years fast did roll
Old Shep he grew old
His eyes were fast growing dim
And one day the doctor looked at me and said
I can do no more for him Jim[Verse 4]
With hands that were trembling
I picked up my gun
And aimed it at Shep’s faithful head
I just couldn’t do it
I wanted to run
I wish they would shoot me instead[Verse 5]
He came to my side
And looked up at me
And laid his old head on my knee
I had struck the best friend that a man ever had
I cried so I scarcely could see[Verse 6]
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

Gypsy, Joe, And Me - Dolly Parton
- Artist – Dolly Parton
- Album – My Blue Ridge Mountain Boy
- Year – 1969
Like most of Dolly Parton’s country songs, this is all about an unlucky woman who loses not only her man but also her dog.
[Verse 1]
We might have slept in a rail yard or camped by the river bank
We fed ourselves from the fruit of the land
And quenched our thirst with rain
We never did allow no roots to grow beneath our feet
Life just had no pattern for Gypsy Joe and me
All we had was each other and the rags upon our back
The closest thing to a home we new was some abandoned shack
But we had all we needed and the rest we didn’t need
Life was free and simple for Gypsy Joe and me
Now Gypsy was my little dog, I found by the road in a ditch
And so I named him Gypsy, cause that name just seemed to fit
Oh and Joe he was my man, the flower of my soul
Thou he never said he loved me, I just always seemed to know
While standing by the highway, thumbing for a ride
The speeding wheels of a passing car, took Gypsy’s life
I lost him where I found him and his loss was misery
Now there’s no more Gypsy, there’s just Joe and me[Verse 2]
Well the winter came and the snow did fall
And the night was cold and still
And the rags we wore were not enough
And Joe he caught the chill
And he told me how he loved me
And in my arms he went to sleep
Now there’s no more Gypsy, no more Joe, there’s just me[Verse 3]
While standing here on the edge of this bridge
Looking down I see
The face of Joe and Gypsy, looking’ back at me
And somewhere in the distance I can hear them calling me
Tonight we’ll be together again
Gypsy, Joe and me

He never tells me that he’s sick of this house
He never says why don’t you get off that couch?
He don’t cost me nothing when he wants to go out
I want you to love me like my dog
He never says I need a new attitude
Him and my sister ain’t always in a feud
When I leave the seat up he don’t think that it’s rude
I want you to love me like my dog does baby[Chorus]
When I come home, want you to just go crazy
He never looks at me like he might hate me
I want you to love me like my dog[Verse 2]
He never acts like he don’t care for my friends
He never asks me where in the hell have you been?
He don’t play dead when I want to pet him
I want you to love me like my dog does honey
He never says “I wish you made more money”
He always thinks that pull my finger’s funny
I want you to love me like my dog
He don’t get mad at me and throw a major fit
When I say his sister is a bitch[Chorus]
When I come home, want you to just go crazy
He never looks at me like he might hate me
I want you to love me like my dog[Outro]

Lilly comes when you stop to call her

Lilly leaves kisses on your collar
Lilly, Lilly, Lilly, Lilly, stay!
Lilly comes when you stop to call her
Lilly runs when you look away
Lilly leaves kisses on your collar
Lilly, Lilly, Lilly, Lilly, stay!
One day she passed him by
A twinkle in her eye
He said ” she was meant for me!”
But when he turned around
He lost what he had found
Oh where can his Lilly be?
Lilly comes when you stop to call her
Lilly runs when you look away
Lilly leaves kisses on your collar
Lilly, Lilly, Lilly, Lilly, stay!
He searched the city streets
He tempted her with treats
But nobody stopped to taste them
Some are in his pocket
Some are in a locket
He couldn’t bring himself to waste them
Ever since she’s gone
Some days he can’t go on
She runined for another
Pressed up against the glass
He prays that she will pass
Now he’s living with his mother
Lilly comes when you stop to call her
Lilly runs when you look away
Lilly leaves kisses on your collar
Lilly, Lilly, Lilly, Lilly, stay!
Lilly comes when you stop to call her
Lilly runs when you look away
Lilly leaves kisses on your collar
Lilly, Lilly, Lilly, Lilly, stay!

I’m just a walkin’ my dog
singin’ my song
strollin’ along
It’s just me and my dog
catchin’ some sun
we can’t go wrong
My life was lonely and blue
yeah I was sad as a sailor
I was an angry ‘un too
Then there was you
appeared, when I was entangled
with youth, and fear, and nerves
jingle jangled
vermouth and beer
were gettin’ me mangled up
But then I looked in your eyes
and I was no more a failure
you looked so wacky and wise
and I said, lord I’m happy
’cause I’m just a walkin’ my dog
singin’ my song
strollin’ along
it’s just me and my dog
catchin’ some sun
we can’t go wrong
’cause I don’t care ’bout your hatin’ and your doubt
and I don’t care what the politicians spout
if you need a companion
well just go right to the pound
and find yourself a hound
and make that doggie proud
’cause that’s what it’s all about
My life was tragic and sad
I was the archetypal loser
I was a pageant gone bad
Then there was you on time
and wagging your tail
in the cutest mime
and you was in jail
I said woof, be mine
and you gave a wail
and then I was no longer alone
and I was no more a boozer
we’ll make the happiest home
and I said lord I’m happy
’cause I’m just a walkin’ my dog
singin’ my song
strollin’ along
it’s just me and my dog
catchin’ some sun
we can’t go wrong
’cause I don’t care ’bout your hatin’ and your doubt
and I don’t care what the politicians spout
if you need a companion
why just go on by the pound
and find yourself a hound
and make that doggie proud
’cause that’s what it’s all about
that’s what it’s all about
that’s what it’s all about
that’s what it’s all a bow-wow-wow
that’s what it’s all about

Telephones remind me of my dog yoohoo
Taxicabs remind me too
If you remind me of my dog
We’ll probably git along little doggie
Git along git along little doggie git a
Smiling at strangers reminds me of my dog
Better let them know you’re friendly
The way people dress reminds me too
Pissing on their favourite tree
Sad things remind me of my dog
co*ckroaches and other insects
Remind me too, don’t eat them
The blank expression of the little boy
With thick glasses who picks
Himself up from the sidewalk
And stands there blinking in the sun
Ho oh
Like the man on the subway
Sitting across from me
And every time I looked at him he smiled
And by the time
I got to the end of the subway line
I ‘d given him at least oh 25 cookies
Guys in bars remind me of my dog
The way it takes you so long
To choose the perfect table
If you remind me of my dog
We’ll probably git along little doggie
Git along git along little doggie git a
Me and my ferocious dog
We’re walking down the street
And everyone we meet says
“Ach yer a goot doogie
“Ach yer a goot doogie
“Ach yer a goot doogie
Except when we go for a walk
To get the Sunday paper
I stand there and read the headlines
He reads the wind
Sometimes he hits a funny smell and laughs
I hate it when he does that- I feel so dumb
What? what? I say
Everything reminds me of my dog
Beautiful things
Sunsets remind me of my dog
Gina go to your window
Einstein reminds me of me dog
I want to pat his fluffy head
This whole world reminds me of my dog
My dog reminds me of this whole world
Do I remind you of a dog? thump thump
I do? faster thump thump
Skyscrapers remind me of my dog
Sitting in the tall grass waiting for a rabbit
Guys in red cameros too
It’s getting to be a habit
Artists remind me of my dog
Staking out their originality on the nearest tree
Old folks remind me of my dog
My dog reminds old people of their dogs
Barfy, Ruffo, Beanhead
Gina says I remind her of the dog
The that way I just did that
Golfers teeing off remind me of my dog
The way he sits by me and shifts on his front paws
What is it you want? look at it
Do you want to go for a walk? do you want a cookie?
Do you want me to dial the number for you?

Now?
You know my girl now?
No?
You know my girl just called me up
And she woke me from my sleep
You should have heard the things she said
You know she hurt my feelings deep
I’m gonna buy me a dog
A dog? A dog
Why? Why?
‘Cause I need a friend now
Babe, you need all the friends
You can get, I’m tellin’ you
I’m gonna buy me a dog
My girl, my girl, don’t love me no how
Don’t ruin my song man
It’s the only song I have
It was ruined when it was wrote
Uh, where’s the verse?
She used to bring me my, my newspaper
You don’t even know where it’s at
‘Cause she knew where it was at
She used to keep me so contented
But I can teach a dog to do that
I’m gonna buy me a dog
You couldn’t teach a dog to do that
You can only train elephants
‘Cause I need a friend now
I need a friend now, now, yeah
I’m gonna buy me a dog
A dog, here Rover, Fido, Spot!
My girl, my girl, don’t love me no how
One, two, three, four
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, hike!
Eight, nine
Hike!
Hike!
I was late on that one
I just got back from Africa, you know
I was playing cards with the natives
Oh, Zulus?
No, I usually won, ah, ah, ah!
I wish I had a glass of water
Why? Ya thirsty?
No. I want to see if my neck leaks
I’d buy a raccoon, but John already has one
Thirty-five bucks
Where do I come in, here?
I, I’m gonna buy me a dog
Dog!
A dog hmm!
Yeah!
As I need a friend now
Yeah, yeah!
Boop, boop, sh-bop, bop, ramalama
I’m gonna buy me a dog
Want my girl?
My girl, don’t love me no how, how
Now, now brown cow
I think I’m gonna buy me a dog, yes sir
I’m gonna buy me a dog
If I was looking for a word to describe what I’m gonna buy
I think ‘dog’ would be the word
Would it? Would it be dog?
It would be dog
Definitely dog
It would come springing from my lips
‘Dog’
Springing from!
Let’s get out of here
Springing from my
It’s alright Tony, can you turn it off please
Can somebody open the door and let us out?
They are coming to take us away!

Seamus The Dog - Pink Floyd
- Artist – Pink Floyd
- Album – Meddle
- Year – 1971
Seamus was one of those lucky dogs who entered the studios during a recording.
Seamus, a German Shepherd owned by Steve Marriot. The song received widespread criticism and Pink Floyd hardly played that song on stage due to doggie and other technical reasons.
I was in the kitchen,
Seamus, that’s the dog, was outside
Well, I was in the kitchen,
Seamus, my old hound, was outside
Well, the sun sinks slowly
But my old hound just sat right down and cried
