Jimmie Driftwood - You Got To Quit Kicking My Dog Around lyrics

rate me

(Jimmy Driftwood)

Me and Lim Brick and Old Bill Brown

Takin' a load of corn to town

My Old Jim Dog, the darned old cuss

He just naturally followed us

As we drove by Sam Johnson's door

Passed and cursed him out the door

Jim, he's good behind the box

And all them fellers are throwin' rocks

Refrain:

Every time I go to town

The boys keep a-kickin' my dog around

Makes no difference if he is a hound

You got to quit kicking my dog around

-Solo-

They tied a can to Old Jim's tail

Running him around the count jail

That made us a-dead burned sore

Lim, he cussed and Bill, he swore

Me and Lim Brick and Old Bill Brown

Lost no time a-get them down

We lost them fellers on the ground

For kicking my Old Jim Dog around

Refrain: -Solo-

Jim saw his duty there and then

He tore ‘em to them gentlemen

He sure messed up the courthouse square

With the rags and meat and the hide and hair

The Sheriff came and stopped the fuss

And all them boys shook hands with us

We gathered ‘round that load of corn

And every man had a healthy horn

Refrain: -Solo-

Old Jim Dog is worth much cash

But I can tell you, he ain't no trash

He wakes me up before the break of day

And he keeps them revenue-boys away

He's the best old dog, you ever did see

Wherever I go, he follows me

His voice is sweet, his name is Jim

He'd fight for me and I'd for him

Refrain: -Solo-
