作词 : Foley
When I was a lad and old 
Shep was a pup 
Over hills and meadows we'd stray 
Just a boy and his dog, we were both full of fun 
We grew up together that way 
I remember the time at the old mill pond 
When I would've drowned beyond doubt 
But old Shep was right there, to the rescue he came 
He jumped in and helped pull me out 
As, the years passed and rolled, at last he grew old 
And his eyesight was fast growing dim. 
Then one day the doctor looked at me and said ?
I can't do no more for him, 
Jim? I went to his side and sat on the ground 
And laid his old head on my knee 
Well, he was the best friend that 
I ever had 
I cried so 
I scarcely could see 
Old Sheppie he knew, he was going to go 
For he reached out and licked at my hand 
He looked up at me, just as much as to say 
We're parting but you understand 
Now old Sheppie is gone where the good doggies go 
And no more with old 
Shep will 
I roam But if dogs have a heaven, there's one thing for sure 
Old Shep has a wonderful home
