And the warden sang
Come on somebody
Why don’t you run
Ol’ Red’s itchin’ to have a little fun
Get my lantern
Get my gun
Red’ll have you treed before the mornin’ comes
– Old Red Group: Singer: Blake Shelton; Songwriters: Writers: Mark Sherrill, James Bohon, Don Goodman
King went a-howlin’ after deer
Wasn’t scared of jumpin’
off the truck in high gear
King went a-sniffin’
and he would go
Was the best old hound dog
I ever did know
– Old King Singer and writer: Neil Young
Now I lay me down to sleep
And pray the Lord my soul to keep
If I die before I wake, feed Jake
He’s been a good dog
My best friend right through it all
If I die before I wake, feed Jake
– Feed Jake Group: Pirates of the Mississippi; Writer Danny “Bear” Mayo
