[Intro] [Chorus] Every time I go to town The boys keep a-kickin’ my dog around Makes no difference if’n he’s a hound They gotta quit kickin’ my dog around [Interlude]              [Verse 1] Me and Lem Briggs and ol’ Bill Brown Took us a little walk to town My old Jim dog an orn’ry old cuss He just naturally follered us [Verse 2] As we went by Joe Johnson’s store A passel of yaps come out the door Yellin’ and a-screamin’ and a-throwin’ rocks They run my Jim dog under a box [Verse 3] Well Jim seed his duty there and then He lit into them gentlemen He sure messed up that courthouse square With the rags and the meat and the hide and the hair [Chorus] Every time I go to town The boys keep a-kickin’ my dog around Makes no difference if’n he’s a hound They gotta quit kickin’ my dog around {Outro]
