Old Shep

Mum will be worried and tonight will be a frost The sun is going down quickly I know I am lost Not at all sure if we are on the right track Shep, you are smart you'll find the way back It really is my fault, you only have one bad habit I shouldn't let you chase that big old buck rabbit Watching you run after it was ever so much fun If dad was there he would have shot it with a gun Time sure went fast Shep, what happened to the day I've had a real good time, and we both like to play Not at all scared, if we see a bear you will bark But we better hurry home, can't be out after dark Silly me, I couldn't remember which way that we went But you are a smart dog, you will pick up the scent Mum will be really worried, she'll be a nervous wreck Dad consoling her, saying "He's okay with Old Shep" We will be safe, I can feel it in my heart You're a brave dog Shep and very, very smart Oh, Shep there it is, I can see our family home Lets run all the way and I'll get you a big bone Mum, Dad and Sis are smiling and waving like mad They are happy to see us, and I'm twice as glad Now we are home, the day has come to an end I love you Shep, you really are my best friend
