Lyrics

I was going on a hunting trip,with my old dog Nip, He was getting pretty old,but he still had some zip, That old Bluetick hound,he kept his nose to the ground, He could flush those rabbits out,and chase them all around, Well,we had lots of fun,chasing those hares,up and down, He was a real good friend,and very seldom,he would frown, He loved to get in that old truck,and head out of town, Out to the hunting ground,he knew that's where he's bound, Chorus Well that old hound,he never talked back,not even once, He was just happy to be a friend,and not treated like a dunce, He was always eager to please,each and every day, And he would follow me everywhere,ready to hunt and play, Bridge Well that old hound,he got around,in his younger days, Now that he's older,he's slowed down,and had to change his ways, He likes to rest,and sleep more,than he's used too, I guess he's almost human,just like me and you, After being out,on the trail,tracking them there critters, He's so glad,to get back home,he sometimes gets the jitters, After his rest,he gets hungry,and ties into those fritters, He has eyes,like a hawk,and he likes things that glitter, Chorus+Bridge Well i don't know,what I'll do,when i have to put him down, I hope ,he understands,and don't give me that frown, He will know,how much I'll miss him,when he sees the tears, And I'll tell him,we'll be together,and ease his fears, Well that will be a day,i ain't looking forward to, Losing one of my best friends,just between me and you, And I'll tell him,when its my turn,we'll be together again, So don't you fret, my four legged buddy,I'll see you then ! Chorus
