Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Early one morning it was drizzling rain
'Round the curve come the Memphis train
Heard somebody holler and a million more
The king is dead, but Lord, he still ain't gone
[Refrain]
But he still ain't gone
But he still ain't gone (My God, my God, he still ain't gone)
[Verse 2]
If you wanna get to Heaven, you gotta D-I-E
You got to put on your coat and your T-I-E
If you wanna catch a rabbit in an L-O-G
You gotta make a commotion like a D-O-G
[Refrain]
Like a D-O-G
Like a D-O-G (Oh, yes, just like a D-O-G)
[Verse 3]
Good Lord, have mercy, what's the matter with me?
What makes me wanna love every woman I see?
I'm rating one another, I'm rating again
Every one I see looks like the place I came in
[Refrain]
Looks like the place I came in (Hot dog)
Looks like the place I came in (The place I came in)
[Instrumental]
Lord, I got my name printed on my shirt
I ain't no ordinary dude 'cause I don't have to work
Just got to town, now I'm gone again
But it's a different track, but it's the same old train
[Refrain]
It's the same old train
It's the same old train (Oh God, my God, it's the same old train)
