My Blue-Speckled Pup Some varmint had stolen My blue-speckled pup I’ll hunt till I find him I’ll never give up Put an ad in the paper And called the police I said if I find him This stealing will cease I’ll put him through hell Then I’ll send him to heaven ‘A hollow-point slug From my three-fifty-seven Now it wasn’t long Till I tracked down the skunk I thought I could whip him Because he was drunk His face was all covered With plenty of scars He got some in prison He got some in bars ‘Said he’d been in San Quentin Spent time in the pen ‘Said he had a good lawyer And killed seven men He had a black bull Tattooed on his head It was lookin’ at me And a-seeing all red I’ll skip all the small talk And won’t write a book Get right to the fight And the beating He took I was looking due north When the man slugged my mouth My teeth went a flyin’ Somewhere to the South I hoped he was done And that he would stop Thank god that my good teeth Were still in the shop I felt like a boxer Who’d lost a decision My eyes were all puffy I had blurry vision His hands were sure hard And big as a plate I could tell without looking My nose wasn’t straight I pictured my funeral I pictured my mourners I heard them a-sayin’ He’ll smell around corners The guys were all standing ‘My hospital Room A joking and laughing To hide all the gloom He never was pretty In his younger days But now he resembles A young Gabby Hayes With his teeth in that jar And his mouth in a pucker He looks like a carp Or a big yellow sucker Thank y’all for a coming And cheering me up Now fetch me a chew And my blue-speckled pup |
