Lyrics

Three-Legged Dog

From 'The Peace Butlers'

 

Three-Legged Dog,
asleep on a log
Lazy like the day is long

Three-Legged Dog,
I’m gonna sing you a Three-Legged song

Mangy mutt, with a garbage gut
He’s the 53rd card in the deck
There was a wreck
and now I hear you howling the blues

Three-legged dog,
I can hear you howling the blues

Three-legged dog, ain’t it a shame
There ain’t nobody to blame
You came up lame
and now I hear you howling the blues

Three-Legged Dog,
I can hear you howling the blues

Three-Legged Dog,
lost in the fog
How I wonder where you ran

If you had your way,
you’d show him you do all you can

Because late last night
at an alley fight
There were three shepards and a Great Dane
You came up lame
and now I hear you howling the blues

Three-Legged Dog,
I can hear you howling the blues
Three-Legged Dog,
I can hear you howling the blues
