Oh, Yes, Oh! |
| I met a nice old man today, oh, yes, oh, and he sure had a lot to say, |
| a good long time ago |
| I’ve led a soldier’s occupation, oh, yes, oh, in every part of this big nation, |
| a good long time ago |
| I’ve seen the world and roamed its placed, oh, yes, oh. |
| I guess I’ve been in a |
| million places, a good long time ago |
| But there are times when soldiering gets lonely, you long for friendly company |
| So when you find an unfamiliar city, here’s advice that always worked for me |
| When your train gets into town, oh, yes, oh, just make a bee line to the pound, |
| a good long time ago |
| Don’t just wander helter-skelter, oh, yes, oh, seek the nearest animal shelter, |
| a good long time ago |
| You soon will find the truest of companions. |
| A little dog can melt a heart of |
| stone |
| Just when you think you’re up a dreary canyon, a puppy’s love can bring you |
| close to home |
| Find a store and buy some twine, oh, yes, oh. |
| Now tie the doggie to the line, |
| a good long time ago |
| Thus prepared for any weather, oh, yes, oh. |
| Dog and man will stand together, |
| a good long time ago |
| For mothers warn their daughters of the dangers of soldiers in their quest for |
| girls |
| Never, never speak to strangers unless their from the canine world |
| A sweet young maid in passing by, oh, yes, oh, saw my smile but made no reply, |
| a good long time ago |
| The puppy fixed his gaze upon her, oh, yes, oh, two steps more and she was a |
| goner, a good long time ago |
| The sands of time have swept away the heart aches, the tears, the parting, |
| and the pain |
| The pup I gave her for a keep sake will always remind me of what’s her name |
| (what's her name?) |
