Jack Garland - That Dog of Mine (Well Well Well) Lyrics

I used to live down the canyon a ways
A long time ago in the sunflower days
The old train tracks under wide open skys
And my dog Sam always by my side

Well well well
I loved to spend my time
With that dog of mine

We'd run free all along the hills
Explored the caves and the run down mills
And he always came to me when I called
And we'd be home before nightfall

Well well well
I loved to spend my time
With that dog of mine

After a while Sam was less bold
I grew up but he grew old
When he couldn't hike anymore
He still followed me out the door

I dug his grave with a rusty spade
And buried him on a sunny day
And stood there for what seemed like years
Almost too sad to shed a tear

Well well well
Don't know how to spend my time
Without that dog of mine

Sometimes I sit by the fire place
And smile when I think of the sunflower days
Even the best things come to an end but
He wasn't just a dog, he was my friend

Well well well
As long as those sunflowers shine
I'll miss that dog of mine

Well well well
As long as those sunflowers shine
I'll love that dog of mine
