I had a dog and his name was King. I told the dog about everything. There in my truck the dog and I. Then one day the King up and died.. Then I thought about the times we had. Once when I kicked him when he was bad. Old King sure meant a lot to me. But that hound dog is history.. King went a-runnin' after deer. Wasn't scared of jumpin' off the truck in high gear. King went a-sniffin' and he would go. Was the best old hound dog I ever did know.. That old King was a friend of mine. Never knew a dog that was half as fine. I may find one you never do know.
