Blackie
And blackie was her precious name
She was a shade of black and gray
She was gentle and smart and tame
Her silly antics made my day
But one day when the time's not right

The lovely goat that once was bright
Made its way to the highest

Blackie Lives On
We had a dog whose name was Blackie,
So extraordinary and wacky,

Getting mad, I yelled out the door, GOOD LUCK! (But, hope you come back!)

She knew whom to bark at, scared them bad,
She was the best pal we ever had,

BLACKIE
Me father was a collier, worked Harton off the coast
Though he rattled from the coal dust he was whiter than a ghost
But the one thing that reviled him in his God-forsaken post
Was the torment of the pit ponies who he'd love and trust the most.
Shetlands worked the low seams, Gallers the big pit
