Amplified - The Dog Song Lyrics
Mr. Hamilton had a dogCalled Billy Joe.His only daughter bought it for himSo he wouldn't feel alone.For Mrs. Hamilton had diedA long, long time ago.So Mr. Hamilton loved this dogCalled Billy Joe.But when he woke up one dayHe noticed the dog was gone.So he came to meAnd asked me to write this song.Billy Joe will you come back to meIf you can?I'll be glad.You were the only thingI cared aboutAs an old, ageing man.Mrs. Hamilton was in an accidentLast winter.She was walking across the roadWhen a motorcycle hit her.And Mr. Hamilton received a callFrom the police stationAnd he rushed down to the hospitalWhere they kept him waiting.Mr. Hamilton was sittingRight beside her bed,When the doctor came inAnd soon pronounced her dead.Billy Joe will you come back to meIf you can?I'll be glad.You were the only thingI cared aboutAs an old, ageing man.Billy Joe will you come back to meIf you can?I'll be glad.You were the only thingI cared aboutAs an old, ageing man.Mr. Hamilton had a dogCalled Billy Joe.But this dog had run awayA long, long time ago.And one cloudy afternoonHe went to the cemetery.And he found the dog just sitting byMrs. Hamilton's grave.
