DOG FOR SALE The ad in the paper It sure caught my eye A big Brindle Plott If you try him, you’ll buy He’ll tree lots of squirrels He’ll sing a fine tune He’ll even bay hogs But he really likes coons When he locks on a tree He’s on there for good He’ll bark till he’s hoarse With his feet on the wood You can hunt him alone Or in a big pack He can wind in the air He can run a cold track He handles with ease He’s smart as a fox Just open the door He’ll jump in the box I dialed up the number To talk to the seller His name was John Brown And a pretty nice feller Come out to the house And we’ll hunt him tonight Now I gotta go Gotta charge up my light So I hung up the phone And I said to my wife Go get my whet stone And sharpen my knife Then I snuck to my rathole And grabbed all my cash She said ‘for you go Will you take out the trash I pulled up to John’s About six o’clock And looked at the cars That were sitting on blocks The sky clouded up It was starting to rain When I saw the big dog Staked out on a chain He sure was beauty With a big, blocky head And colored just like A Rhode Island Red I liked him already And wanted to try him With cash in my pocket I thought I could buy him We turned old Slim loose In a steep wooded draw Not a minute went by ‘For he let out a bawl He went down the holler A-bawling like heck I grinned as he bristled The hair on my neck My legs were a achin' And I’s gettin’ tard From climbing the mountain Where Slim hammered hard We arrived at the top And John shined the tree I said, do you see him ‘said no, I see three I pulled out my money And counted the cash And said to the seller Does he ever run trash He once ran a deer Drove him like a tack But when he came by There’s a coon on his back I shook old John’s hand And gave him the dollars For paying in cash He threw in his collar Now John I must ask Why you selling old Slim? ‘Cause I got one at home That’s better than him |
