[00:10.70] When I was a lad
[00:16.09] And old shep was a pup
[00:20.73] Over hills and meadows wed stray
[00:30.96] Just a boy and his dog
[00:36.11] We were both full of fun
[00:41.50] We grew up together that way
[00:51.15] I remember the time at the old swimmin hold
[01:01.64] When I would have drowned beyond doubt
[01:10.98] But old shep was right there
[01:16.67] To the rescue he came
[01:21.71] He jumped in and then pulled me out
[01:31.41] As the years fast did roll
[01:36.50] Old shep he grew old
[01:41.56] His eyes were fast growing dim
[01:51.26] And one day the doctor looked at me and said
[02:01.45] I can do no more for him jim
[02:11.30] With hands that were trembling
[02:16.09] I picked up my gun
[02:20.82] And aimed it at sheps faithful head
[02:30.41] I just couldnt do it
[02:35.35] I wanted to run
[02:40.17] I wish they would me shoot instead
[02:49.47] He came to my side
[02:54.66] And looked up at me
[02:59.40] And laid his old head on my knee
[03:08.85] I had struck the best friend that a man ever had
[03:18.27] I cried so I scarcely could see
[03:27.31] Old shep he has gone
[03:32.16] Where the good doggies go
[03:36.96] And no more with old shep will I roam
[03:46.00] But if dogs have a heaven
[03:50.94] Theres one thing I know
[03:55.58] Old shep has a wonderful home
