i remember my old dog he was just a stray
roaming here and there with no where he  could stay
i was just a kid ma brought him home to me
and forever friends him and i would be

his owner he moved on to a different place
and the world alone he would have to face
rummaging the bins so he could survive
for a bite to eat so he could stay alive

followed home my mama ma she took him in
he had lost his weight his body it was thin
gave him food and water  built him up once more
now he is the dog that he was before

he his my friend ma gave the dog to me
friends for ever more we would always be
no longer has to stray no longer has to roam
has a place to stay somewhere to call home
