Little Buddy

歌詞

Broken hearted and so sad golden curls all wet with tears Twas a picture of sorrow to see Kneeling close to the side of his pal and only pride A little lad these words he told me He was such a lovely doggie and to me he was such fun But today as we played by the way A drunken man got mad at him because he barked in joy He beat him and he's dying here today Will you call the doctor please and tell him if he comes right now He'll save my precious buddy cause I'll pray Then he stroked the fluffy head but his little pal was dead Just a shiver and he slowly passed away He didn't know his dog had died so I told him as he cried Come with me son we'll get that doctor right away I can't leave him here alone I must get my doggie home So while you're gone sir I'll just kneel beside him here and I'll pray But when I returned he had his little pal upon his knee And the teardrops they were blinding his big blue eyes You're too late sir my doggie's dead and no help can save him now But I'll meet my precious buddy up in the sky By a tiny narrow grave where the willows sadly wave There in grave on a shingle of pine Little buddy rest in peace God will watch you through the years Cause I told him in my prayers that you were mine
