COONHOUND
ARTIST: OL WHITETAIL
SONGWRITER: ALEXIS M. THOMPSON

I haven’t given up yet on finding true love
But I’m going down to the pound, I’m gonna bring home a dog
She’s gonna have the sharpest eyes in town and the keenest nose
Blackest fur on her back so it won’t show up on my black clothes

I’m going down to the pound
I’m gonna bring home a coonhound
And we’re gonna roam all around a-sniffin’

Now, I’ve given so much thought to the kind of companion I want
And I can’t settle down for some sweet kitty
I’d rather spend my nights walkin’ in alleys without bar lights
Whistlin’ tunes and bayin’ at the moon from my city

I’m going down to the pound
I’m gonna bring home a coonhound
And we’re gonna roam all around a-sniffin’

And maybe – but hey, I won’t count on it
Some night while we’re out walking past some garbage
A beautiful little bandit might look at me red-handed
Say “I’ve been searchin’ through trash all day and I finally found you.”
Hey!

I’m going down to the pound
I’m gonna bring home a coonhound
And we’re gonna roam all around a-sniffin’
I’m going down to the pound
I’m gonna bring home a coonhound
And we’re gonna roam all around a-sniffin’
