Slow Dog

Meet him by the road There's a dog went running Picking through spit out leaves A dog won't even touch Meant to shoot that dog long ago Just can't leave that dog alone Maria carry a rifle Maria carry a dog on her back That dog is hit again That slow dog is hit again With his see-thru' skin The kind of skin you can see through He's shot again, he's shot again He's shot a-a-a, he's shot again He's shot again, he's shot a-a-a Heal me by a river Man retires his wife says But she was so sad and sick His heart breaks in the mud Thought I'd leave this world by twenty-one Couldn't leave that dog alone Maria carry a rifle Maria carry a dog on her back That dog is hit again That slow dog is hit again With his see-thru' skin The kind of skin you can see through He's shot again, he's shot again He's shot a-a-a, he's shot again He's shot again, he's shot a-a-a Maria carry a rifle Maria carry a dog on her back Maria carry you on her back
