  • (clyde red foley, willis arthur)
  • When I was a lad and old shep was a pup
  • Over hills and meadows wed stray.
  • Just a boy and his dog, we were both full of fun,
  • We grew up together that way.
  • I remember the time by the old swimming hole
  • When I wouldve drowned beyond doubt.
  • But old shep was right there, to the rescue he came,
  • He jumped in and helped pull me out.
  • Well, the years passed and rolled and old shep, he grew old,
  • His eyes they were fast growing dim.
  • Then one day the doctor looked at me and said,
  • i cant do no more for him, jim.
  • With hands that were tremblin, I picked up my gun,
  • I aimed it at sheps faithful head.
  • But I just couldnt do it, I wanted to run,
  • I wished they would shoot me instead.
  • Well, he crawled to my side and he looked up at me,
  • He laid his old head on my knee.
  • Id lost the best friend that a boy ever had,
  • I cried so I scarcely could see.
  • Well, old shep he is gone where the good doggies go,
  • No more with old shep will I roam.
  • But if dogs have a heaven, well theres one thing I know,
  • Old shep has a wonderful home.
