Lyrics

Black Eyed Dog

A black eyed dog he called at my door

The black eyed dog he called for more

A black eyed dog he knew my name

A black eyed dog he knew my name

A black eyed dog

A black eyed dog

I'm growing old and I wanna go home

I'm growing old and I don't wanna know

I'm growing old and I wanna go home

I'm growing old and I don't wanna know

A black eyed dog

A black eyed dog

A black eyed dog he called at my door

A black eyed dog he called for more

A black eyed dog

A black eyed dog

A black eyed dog

A black eyed dog

A black eyed dog

A black eyed dog

A black eyed
