1
Two little boys and an old family dog
2
By the banks of a stream sat one day
3
The boys decided old Rover must die
4
A nuisance well out of the way
5
The poor old fellow stood close by their side
6
His fate he couldn't quite understand
7
With a wag of his tail and a half sobbing wail
8
He reached out and licked at their hands
9
"Remember I'm your best friend, boys
10
Oh, no one could love you so true
11
Though you may beat me and bang me today
12
Tomorrow I'll play games with you"
13
"I know I am old and quite in the way
14
But life to me still holds a charm
15
Well, I've only one favor to ask of you, boys
16
Let me spend my last days on the farm"
17
With a rope, 'round his neck they were ready to tie
18
His pleading seemed of no avail
19
Just then one of the boys slipped and fell in the stream
20
The other stood by, deadly pale
21
A loud cry for help and old Rover plunged in
22
No sight of old age or delay
23
And as he slowly swam back to the shore
24
The waves dashing by in his face
25
"Remember I'm your best friend, boys
26
Oh, no one could love you so true
27
Though you may beat me and bang me today
28
Tomorrow I'll play games with you"
29
"I know I am old and quite in the way
30
But life to me still holds a charm
31
Well, I've only one favor to ask of you, boys
32
Let me spend my last days on the farm"
