But old shep was right there To the rescue he came
He jumped in and then pulled me out
As the years fast did roll Old shep he grew old
His eyes were fast growing dim
And one day the doctor looked at me and said
I can do no more for him jim With hands that were trembling I picked up my gun And aimed it at sheps faithful head
I just couldnt do it
I wanted to run
I wish they would shoot me instead
He came to my side
And looked up at me
And laid his old head on my knee
I had struck the best friend that a man ever had
I cried so I scarcely could see
Old shep he has gone
Where the good doggies go
And no more with old shep will I roam
But if dogs have a heaven Theres one thing I know Old shep has a wonderful home
