Larry Williams - Poor Dog (Who Can't Wag His Own Tail) lyrics

[Verse 1] Self-preservation is the first law of nature Above of the rules of the one who made you The good Lord helped those who helped themselves Look at number one before you help somebody else [Chorus] Cause it's a poor dog Now, it's a poor dog It's poor dog Who can't wag his own tail He can't wag his own tail [Verse 2] It's a mighty poor captain, can't sell his own ship And it's a poor, poor actor, can't read his own script It's poor foundation, can't hold up a house It's a mighty poor cat, can't even catch a mouse [Chorus] [Verse 3] Trainers going strong now, I find his weakest link Man ain't really strong now, can't really really think From little acres, victory goes And it's a mighty mighty poor rooster that can't even crow [Chorus] [Outro] Poor dog [x4]
