Lyrics
This Old Dog
The only time I heard him complain
When he was home alone on his chain
Supper time would light up his face
He knew no sin only grace
He loved the wind blow'n in his ears
He listened well when I had a few beers
This old dog was so easy to please
Wagged his tail when I giggled the keys
It was true love when I gazed in his eyes
This old dog, Comforting and wise
Oh this old dog / This old dog
One of the best friends of my life
Now he's gone it cuts like a knife
Maybe up in heaven we'll meet again
This old boy whose name was Ben
I wish he didn't have to go so soon
This will always be a sad afternoon
Bridge:
He always greeted me with a breathless smile
Even when he got a little senile
