[Verse 1]
C F
My boy was four years old when we found that lonesome hound,
G C
Out along a dusty Oklahoma road.
C
They grew up running through the pines,
F
That hound dog and that boy of mine.
G C
When he was 13 she was growing old.
[Verse 2]
C F
One night he came to me tears were in his eyes.
G C
She did not answer when he called her name.
C
We found her underneath the pines
F
Where she lay down alone to die.
G C
We buried her that evening in the rain.
[Chorus]
N.C. C F
I said "Son, the ones you love never really go away
G C
If youy'll only keep their memories alive.
C F
Listen to the wind. You'll hear her howl again,
G C
'Cause hound dogs never really die."
[Verse 3]
C F
That night beside his bed we knelt there in prayer.
G C
I knew what he was feeling in his heart.
C
From the questions that he asked me then,
F
I knew that he was wonderin'
G C
If the day would come when we would be apart.
[Bridge]
N.C. C F
And I said, "Son, don't ever worry. God willing, we've got time
G C
To share the years as they go rolling by;
C
But if the night should ever fall
F
That I don't answer to your call,
G C
Remember, hound dogs never die.
[Chorus]
N.C. C F
I said "Son, the ones you love never really go away
G C
Long as you keep their memories alive.
C F
Listen to the wind. You'll hear me howl again,
G C
'Cause hound dogs never die."
G C
'Cause hound dogs never die."
