[00:00.00]Little Buddy - Hank Snow
[00:09.06]Broken hearted and so sad
[00:13.31]Golden curls all wet with tears
[00:17.81]Twas a picture of sorrow to see
[00:26.12]Kneeling close to the side of his pal
[00:31.97]And only pride
[00:34.89]A little lad these words he told me
[00:43.09]He was such a lovely doggie
[00:47.00]And to me he was such fun
[00:51.70]But today as we played by the way
[01:00.08]A drunken man got mad at him because
[01:05.41]He barked in joy
[01:08.53]He beat him and he's dying here today
[01:16.49]Will you call the doctor please
[01:20.44]And tell him if he comes right now
[01:24.95]He'll save my precious buddy cause I'll pray
[01:33.14]Then he stroked the fluffy head
[01:36.97]But his little pal was dead
[01:41.57]Just a shiver and he slowly passed away
[01:51.09]He didn't know his dog had died so
[01:54.19]I told him as he cried
[01:57.00]Come with me son we'll get
[01:58.76]That doctor right away
[02:02.03]I can't leave him here alone
[02:04.67]I must get my doggie home
[02:07.74]So while you're gone
[02:08.87]I'll just kneel beside him here
[02:11.05]And I'll pray
[02:13.58]But when I returned he had
[02:15.52]His little pal upon his knee
[02:18.69]And the teardrops they were
[02:20.66]Blinding his big blue eyes
[02:23.96]You're too late sir my doggie's dead
[02:27.22]And no help can save him now
[02:30.51]But I'll meet my precious buddy up in the sky
[02:39.90]By a tiny narrow grave where
[02:44.48]The willows sadly wave
[02:48.75]There in grave on a shingle of pine
[02:56.58]Little buddy rest in peace
[03:00.64]God will watch you through the years
[03:05.17]Cause I told him in my prayers
[03:08.83]That you were mine
