MRS. WALKER’S DOG


Mrs. Walker’s dog, Mrs. Walker’s dog

Mrs. Walker’s dog jumped his fence in a single bound
He spent his days in my yard diggin’ holes in the ground
Mrs. Walker’s dog liked to pee on my tires
He never went on the hydrant for puttin’ out fires

Chorus:
Mrs. Walker’s dog, Mrs. Walker’s dog
Mrs. Walker’s dog did his duty in my front yard
He dug through my garbage can, with his friend the Saint Bernard
Mrs. Walker’s dog liked to water my flowers
Kept me up with his barkin’ till the early mornin’ hours
Yeah, Mrs. Walker’s dog never seemed to quit
Almost every morning I’d step in a pile of his........
Mrs. Walker’s dog, Mrs. Walker’s dog

Last Chorus ending:
But now that I shot at him I’m in deep................
Mrs. Walker’s dog, Mrs. Walker’s dog
Mrs. Walker’s dog, Mrs. Walker’s dog


One fateful night I couldn’t take anymore
I went over to Mrs. Walker’s and shoved my way through the door
I went out to the back yard to shoot her dog, Blue
Thought after that dog was gone my troubles would be through

Chorus

Mrs. Walker’s dog still jumps his fence in a single bound
My shot only grazed him so that mutt’s still around
They slapped me on the wrist for shovin’ my way through her door
But they gave me twenty years to life for shootin’ at Mrs. Walker’s mutt



Mrs. Walker’s new neighbors got dogs bigger than Blue
They jump the fence, eat his food and chase him ‘round too
They leave their callin’ cards and dig holes like you never saw
It’s like some kind of cosmic, canine karma

Chorus and last ending
