Sam

Well, a good dog on the ground's worth three in the saddle

No matter where you're from

Been many good dog, was a friend to a man

But Sam was the greatest one

He was the hound of hounds

He was the wonder of all walkers

He loved howling at the moon

He loved treeing that raccoon

Most of all, he was my best friend and he's gone too soon

He was the runt of the litter

But a plenty mean pup

Put Sam on the scent and he never let up

Spent his nights on the porch

Chewin' on a bear bone

Now he's underground

And I'm all alone

Well, a good dog on the ground's worth three in the saddle

No matter where you're from

Been many good dog, was a friend to a man

But Sam was the greatest one

He was the hound of hounds

He was the wonder of all walkers

He loved howling at the moon

He loved treeing that raccoon

Most of all, he was my best friend and he's gone too soon
