Play "A Little Dog Crie…" on Amazon Music Unlimited (ad) This is a story of a little orphan pup Some people don't believe that it's true But I'll tell it the way it was told to me And I'll leave that up to you Some say he was a shepherd dog Or maybe only part A mongrel breed by birth perhaps But a thorughbread at heart One day he wandered down the road Lonely, tired, and unfed He was willing to trade his poor little heart For just a pat on the head He came upon a stranger in a garden, I understand Who gave him bread and water and the puppy licked his hand Well he thought he'd found his master at last And at his feet he lay An angry shouting crowd came by And they took his master away He saw them tie his masters hands and take him before a judge Well they tried to shoo the puppy away But the little guy just wouldn't budge He saw him stumble and fall three times As he followed him down the road He saw him stumble and fall Because he carried such a heavy load Then lightening struck and thunder roared And all the world grew dark And it's been said that only those who stayed Heard a little dog bark Well you may not believe it It doesn't sound true, I know But a little dog cried when his master died On a hill a long time ago
