Old Dog Bone

Nobody ever liked you

whenever I went out alone

I said nobody ever liked you, babe

whenever I was on my own

They tell me I was just a bulldog

an’ you’s his old dog bone

 

The people talked about you

wondered when you’d go away

The people all talked about you, girl

wondered when you’d go away

They said your garments were all broken

and your eyes was made of clay

 

It ain’t like I was lonely

but I was lookin’ for a spell

No, it ain’t like I was lonely

I was lookin’ for a spell

You told me you a diver

but you was drownin’ in a shell

 

You’re a politician

you made lyin’ a career

You’re a dirty, lowdown politician, babe

you made lyin’ a career

I’m so miserable without you, Lord

you might as well be here
