Hound back your long ears
Lift up your long head and
Hound Dog, Bay at the Moon
and my sargum's gone bad.
My kinfolk have ate up what little I had.
Hound o 'er, bay at the moon,
Hound dog, bay at the moon
Rotten potatoes and a dirty toad sack
Pain in my belly and a crink in my back
Hound dog, bay at the moon
Lift up your long head and
Hound dog, bay at the moon.
That the Lord should forgive me
does bring my heart pain,
Hound dog, bay at the moon,
Hound dog, bay at the moon.
May the good Lord forgive me
For the things I done wrong,
My hound dog and me will be
And then we'll quit singin'
Hound dog, bay at the moon,
Lift up your long head and
Hound Dog, bay at the moon.
