HOUND DOG BATES
By Tom Hunnicutt

(Dedicated to the loving memory of Robbie Branscum)

1st Verse

Someone up and killed my dog,
I don’t know the reason for.
You know how it how it hurt me so.
They murdered Hound Dog Bates.

Chorus

Hound Dog Bates – oh, Hound Dog Bates.
They killed my dog, oh, Hound Dog Bates.
Every little boy – he needs a friend like you.
So why they kill you, my Hound Dog Bates
.
(Turn Around)
2nd Verse

We had a good times and we’ve had bad.
Like the time you got fleas all over my bed
and you tracked dirt on the kitchen floor,
but you weren’t bad, not my Hound Dog Bates.

3rd Verse

Now my old aunts can’t be that mean,
So we’ll just have to wait and see.
But I think I know just what to do.
We’ll have some fun Hound Dog Bates and me.
