Little Brown Dog Lyrics

Oh, I had me a little dog, the color it was brown.
I taught him for to whistle, to sing and dance and run.
His legs, they were fourteen yards long, his ears so very wide,
Around the world in half a day, and upon him I could ride.

Sing taddle-o-day, Sing taddle-o-day

I had me a flock of sheep, I thought they were all weathers,
Some times they yielded wool, sometimes they yielded feathers.
I think mine are the best of sheep, for yielding me increase,
For every full and change of the moon, they yield both lambs and geese.

Sing taddle-o-day, Sing taddle-o-day

Oh, I had me a little box, the color, it was green,
And in it were all the wonders that man had ever seen.
I put it in my pocket, I tied it with a cloth,
I cried and cried the day I found that it had been lost.

Sing…..

Oh, I had me a little hen, speckled, gay, and fair,
Oh, I set her on an oyster shell, She hatched me out a hare.
The hare, it sprang into a horse, fifteen handfuls high,
And he who tells a bigger tale will have to tell a lie.

Sing…..
