Hank Snow - Old Rover слова песни
Arranged and recorded by Hank SnowTwo little boys and an old family dogBy the banks of a stream sat one dayThe boys decided old rover must dieA nusance well out of the wayThe poor old fellow stood close by their sideHis fate he couldn`t quite understandWith a wag of his tail and a half sobbing wailHe reached out and licked at their handsRemember I`m your best friend, boysOh, no one could love you so trueThough you may beat me and bang me todayTomorrow I`ll play games with youI know I am old and quite in the wayBut life to me still holds a charmWe``, I`ve only one favor to ask of you, boys Let me spend my last days on the farmWith a rope, round his neck they were ready to tieHis pleading seemed of no availJust then one of the boys slipped and fell in the streamThe other stood by, deadly paleA loud cry for help and old rover plunged inNo sight of old age or delayAnd as he slowly swam back to the shoreThe waves dashing by in his face(Remember I`m your best friend, boys)(Oh, no one could love you so true)Though you may beat me and bang me todayTomorrow I`ll play games with youI know I am old and quite in the wayBut life to me still holds a charmWell, I`ve only one favor to ask of you, boys Let me spend my last days on the farm
