Little Brown Dog

[Verse 1: Ann Willson]

Oh, once I had a little dog

Her color, it was brown

I taught her for to whistle

To sing and dance and run

Her legs they were 14 yards long

Her ears so very wide

Around the world in half a day

Upon her I could ride

[Chorus: Both]

Sing Tarry-O Day

Sing, Autumn to May

[Verse 2: Nancy Wilson]

Oh, once I had a little frog

He wore a vest of red

He'd lean upon a silver cane

A top hat on his head

He'd speak of far-off places

Of things to see and do

And all the Kings and Queens he'd met

While sailing in a shoe

[Chorus: Both]

Sing Tarry-O Day

Sing, Autumn to May

[Verse 3: Ann Wilson, Nancy Wilson, Both]

Oh, once I had a flock of sheep

They grazed upon a feather

I'd keep them in a music box

From wind or rainy weather

And every day the sun would shine

They'd fly all through the town

And bring me back some golden rings

And candy by the pound

[Chorus: Both]

Sing Tarry-O Day

Sing, Autumn to May

[Verse 4: Ann Wilson, Both]

Oh, once I had a Downey swan

She was so very frail

She sat upon an oyster shell

And hatched me out a snail

The snail had changed into a bird

The bird to a butterfly

And he who tells a bigger tale

Would have to tell a lie

[Chorus: Ann Wilson, Both]

Sing Tarry-O Day

Sing Autumn to May

Oh...

Sing Tarry-O Day

Sing Autumn to May
