Cracker Jack |
Once I had a little dog |
I called him Cracker Jack |
He had a spot around one eye |
That looked just like a patch |
His legs were way too long |
And he was awkward as could be |
He wasn’t much to look at |
But he looked alright to me |
I found him by the river bank |
Just wandering about |
He was cold and hungry |
And his ribs were sticking out |
I snapped my fingers, whistled |
When he came, I picked him up |
I was just a kid |
And Cracker Jack was just a pup |
I took him home and fed him |
'Til he couldn’t eat no more |
I took him to my room |
And put a blanket on the floor |
After that beside my bed |
Is where he’d always sleep |
Each night in my prayers |
I’d pray the lord his soul to keep |
Cracker Jack |
The best friend that I ever had was Cracker Jack |
But he was more than that |
A playmate, a companion |
He was love and understanding |
That was Cracker Jack |
The best friend that I ever had was Cracker Jack |
But he was more than that |
Everything a kid could want |
I had in Cracker Jack |
Cracker Jack would run to meet me |
After school each day |
He’d jump and wag his tail |
And look at me as if to say |
«I love you and I’ve missed you |
And I’m glad you’re home again» |
I knew just how he felt |
'Cause me and Cracker Jack was friends |
Through the woods and fields |
We would often roam about |
And when we got in trouble |
We would help each other out |
I could run almost as fast as Cracker Jack could run |
We had a lot in common |
And we had a lot of fun |
He was always with me |
When I was growing up |
We shared each other’s good times |
And we shared each other’s love |
He only lives in memories now |
But often I think back |
To the days of childhood |
The days of Cracker Jack |
Cracker Jack |
The best friend that I ever had was Cracker Jack |
But he was more than that |
A playmate, a companion |
He was love and understanding |
That was Cracker Jack |
The best friend that I ever had was Cracker Jack |
But he was more then that |
Everything a kid could want |
I had in Cracker Jack |
