                     Ooh ooh ooh ooh

C
Broken hearted and so sad

       C7                 F
Golden curls all wet with tears

       G                    C
Twas a picture of sorrow to see

                                  C7           F
Kneeling close to the side of his pal and only pride

  G                                 C
A little lad these words he told to me

C   F   C
Ooh ooh ooh

C
He was such a lovely doggie

             C7       F
And to me he was such fun

      G                       C
But today as we played by the way

C
A drunken man got mad at him

  C7                 F
Because he barked in joy

   G                              C
He beat him and he's dying here today

C   F   C
Ooh ooh ooh

C
Will you call the doctor please and

         C7                F
Tell him if he comes right now

      G                                 C
He'll save my precious buddy cause I'll pray

C
Then he stroked the fluffy head

        C7             F
But his little pal was dead

       G                            C
Just a shiver and he slowly passed away

C   F   C
Ooh ooh ooh

C
  He didn't know his dog had died

                    C7
So I told him as he cried

F                               G
Come with me son we'll get that doctor right away

                  C
I can't leave him here alone

C
I must get my doggie home

C
So while you're gone sir I'll just

                               C7
Kneel beside him here and I'll pray

         F                            G
But when I returned he had his little pal upon his knee

                            C
And the teardrops they were blinding his big blue eyes

C
You're too late sir my doggie's dead

                         C7
And no help can save him now

         F                      G
But I'll meet my precious buddy   up in the sky

C      F   C
   Ooh ooh ooh

C                                C7            F
By a tiny narrow grave where the willows sadly wave

        G                      C
There engraved on a shingle of pine

C
Little buddy rest in peace

                   C7          F
God will watch you through the years

        G                                    C
Cause I told Him in my prayers that you were mine

C   F   C
Ooh ooh ooh
