My Lost Dog

My Lost Dog
Gloria Attoun (Ah-TUNE)
2:54

I lost my dog, she’s getting too old
To be roaming in the woods in the rain and snow
Did she go down to the coop, did she go down to the river
Did she lose all her luck and end up as someone’s dinner?

Chorus:
She’s howling, howling at the moonlight
Lying down under the trees
Trying to make it back by midnight
My lost dog is crying out for me.

My dog’s fifteen, that’s a hundred and five
I don’t think she’d be satisfied just being alive
I knew a guy who made it to a hundred and three
But he never made it half as far as my dog Willie

Chorus

I lost my dog and she can’t hear
I scream and I holler, but it won’t reach her ears
Wear out my legs, wear out my bones
Gotta find my dog so we can both go home

Chorus

When I get old, as old as that hound
I can guarantee that I will still be roaming around
If I lose my way, don’t whine, don’t scowl
You can always find me by my long, lost howl.

Chorus
