Lyrics

[Chorus]
You ain't nothing but a hound dog
Just cryin' all the time
You ain't nothing but a hound dog
Cryin' all the time
Well, you ain't never caught a rabbit
And you ain't no friend of mine
[Verse 1]
Well, they said you was high-classed
Well, that was just a lie
Yeah, they said you was high-classed
Well, that was just a lie
Yeah, you ain't never caught a rabbit
And you ain't no friend of mine
[Chorus]
You ain't nothing but a hound dog
Cryin' all the time
You ain't nothing but a hound dog
Cryin' all the time
Well, you ain't never caught a rabbit
And you ain't no friend of mine
[Verse 2]
Well, they said you was high-classed
Well, that was just a lie
Yeah, they said you was high-classed
Well, that was just a lie
Well, you ain't never caught a rabbit
And you ain't no friend of mine
[Verse 3]
Well, they said you was high-classed
Well, that was just a lie
You know they said you was high-classed
Well, that was just a lie
Well, you ain't never caught a rabbit
And you ain't no friend of mine
[Chorus]
You ain't nothing but a hound dog
Cryin' all the time
You ain't nothing but a hound dog
Cryin' all the time
Well, you ain't never caught a rabbit
You ain't no friend of mine
You ain't nothing but a hound dog
