Lyrics

King went a-runnin' after deer
Wasn't scared of jumpin'
Off the truck in high gear
King went a-sniffin'
And he would go
Was the best old hound dog
I ever did know
I had a dog and his name was king
I told the dog about everything
There in my truck the dog and i
Then one day the king up and died
Then I thought about
The times we had
Once when I kicked him
When he was bad
Old king sure meant a lot to me
But that hound dog is history
King went a-runnin' after deer
Wasn't scared of jumpin'
Off the truck in high gear
King went a-sniffin'
And he would go
Was the best old hound dog
I ever did know
That old king was a friend of mine
Never knew a dog
That was half as fine
I may find one, you never do know
'Cause I still got a long way to go
I had a dog and his name was king
I told the dog about everything
Old king sure meant a lot to me
But that hound dog is history
King went a-howlin' after deer
Wasn't scared of jumpin'
Off the truck in high gear
King went a-sniffin'
And he would go
Was the best old hound dog
I ever did know
