Reprise Records - Old King lyrics

[Chorus] King went a-running after deer Wasn't scared of jumping off the truck in high gear King went a-sniffing and he would go Was the best old hound dog I ever did know [Verse 1] I had a dog and his name was King I told the dog about everything There in my truck the dog and I Then one day the King up and died Then I thought about the times we had Once when I kicked him when he was bad Old King sure meant a lot to me But that hound dog is history [Chorus] [Verse 2] That old King was a friend of mine Never knew a dog that was half as fine I may find one, you never do know Because I still got a long way to go I had a dog and his name was King I told the dog about everything Old King sure meant a lot to me But that hound dog is history [Chorus]
