I got myself a hound dog,

To be my only friend;

She's faithful and she's loyal,

She won't run for other men.



She don't want much of nothing,

No money, jewels or furs;

Dry dog food and her master's touch,

Is good enough for her.



When I am broke and lonesome

She senses how I feel;

She comes to me and wags her tail

To say she loves me still.



She don't bitch and argue

She always aims to please;

She's too smart and grateful

To bite the hand that feeds.



I got myself a hound dog,

To be my only friend;

She's faithful and she's loyal,

She won't run for other men
