He's got all four legs but he's got no tail
So he wags his head when he drinks his ale
He bit old Dirken, but that's OK
'Cause we didn't like him anyway
We didn't like him anyway

He was a damn good dog
He was a damn good dog
Don't care what you say
I wish he could be with me for
One
More
Day

Well that dog ran off with the leg of lamb
So he left us nothing but bread and jam
And he ate my homework on the way to school
The teacher believed me. Oh, what a fool!
The teacher believed me. Oh, what a fool!

He was a damn good dog
He was a damn good dog
Don't care what you say
I wish he could be with me for
One
More
Day
He was a damn good dog
He was a damn good dog
Don't care what you say
I wish he could be with me for
One

Day

Well, I went out fishing with big Jack Finn
A wave came up and it dumped us in
So I gave a whistle, I gave a shout
The dog came up, and he yanked us out
The dog came up, and he yanked us out

He was a damn good dog
He was a damn good dog
Don't care what you say
I wish he could be with me for
One
More
