Ooh ooh ooh ooh
 
[Verse]
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
 
[Verse]
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
 
[Verse]
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
 
[Verse]
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
 
[Verse]
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
 
[Verse]
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
