Little Buddy - Hank Snow
Broken hearted and so sad golden curls all wet with tears
Twas a picture of sorrow to see
Kneeling close to the side of his pal and only pride
A little lad these words he told me
He was such a lovely doggie
And to me he was such fun
But today as we played by the way
A drunken man got mad at him because he barked in joy
He beat him and he's dying here today
Will you call the doctor please
And tell him if he comes right now
He'll save my precious buddy cause I'll pray
Then he stroked the fluffy head but his little pal was dead
Just a shiver and he slowly passed away
By a tiny narrow grave where the willows sadly wave
There in grave on a shingle of pine
Little buddy rest in peace
God will watch you through the years
Cause I told him in my prayers that you were mine
