oh, yes, oh!
Singer:kingston trio, the
i met a nice old man today
and he sure had a lot to say
i've led a soldier's occupation
in every part of this big nation
i've seen the world and roamed its placed
oh. i guess i've been in a million places
but there are times when soldiering gets lonely
you long for friendly company
so when you find an unfamiliar city
here's advice that always worked for me
when your train gets into town
just make a bee line to the pound
don't just wander helter-skelter
seek the nearest animal shelter
you soon will find the truest of companions. a little dog can melt a heart of stone
just when you think you're up a dreary canyon
a puppy's love can bring you close to home
find a store and buy some twine
oh. now tie the doggie to the line
thus prepared for any weather
oh. dog and man will stand together
for mothers warn their daughters of the dangers of soldiers in their quest for girls
never speak to strangers unless their from the canine world
a sweet young maid in passing by
saw my smile but made no reply
the puppy fixed his gaze upon her
two steps more and she was a goner
the sands of time have swept away the heart aches
the pup i gave her for a keep sake will always remind me of what's her name
