Old Hound Dog (remixed & remastered) Lyrics

My old hound dog he ain't much to see

But that old hound dog means a lot to me

I take him with me everywhere, Everywhere I go

But I am always late because my old hound dog is slow

He's a half-blooded blue tick hound,

I can hear his tongue's flap in the breeze

I just love that old hound dog

And he's the home to a thousand fleas

My old hound dog He ain't much to see

But that old hound dog means a lot to me

Now Fred, (that's his name), he's the only dog in about two square miles

except for maybe cousin Thelma Lou's chihuahua,

Which really should not count as a dog

But maybe some kind of varmint creature,

But anyways Fred never cared too much for chasing rabbits

He just lays around….and eats…. and sleeps…

He never does a DANG THANG

My old hound dog He ain't much to see

But that old hound dog means a lot to me

So one Monday night I took that old hound dog

to Catawba on the south slope in Asheville North Carolina

To jam with John and Bentley and Ben and cousin Tim

There was Clyde and Steve and they were singing their latest Appalachian love songs

Fred and all the other dogs starting howling to fit right in….Goodnight Irene!

My old hound dog he ain't much to see

But that old hound dog means a lot to me

I take him with me everywhere, Everywhere I go

But I am always late because my old hound dog is slow

He's a half-blooded blue tick hound,

I can hear his tongue's flap in the breeze

I just love that old hound dog

And he's the home to a thousand fleas

My old hound dog He ain't much to see

But that old hound dog means a lot to me
