Dog With Back Legs Broken

Dog with back legs broken
most beloved creature on God's gray earth
hitch your hind end to the wheels of a wagon
walk and roll, walk and roll, walk and roll

I saw your younger cousin run to fetch the tennis ball
you don't fetch no more
no feeling in your tail so it doesn't wag at all
but when I get to heaven you'll be there
to greet me at the door

Dog with back legs broken
most beloved creature on God's gray earth
hitch your hind end to the wheels of a wagon
walk and roll, walk and roll, walk and roll
