Lyrics:

King Went A-Runnin' After Deer
wasn't Scared Of Jumpin' Off The Truck In High Gear
king Went A-Sniffin' And He Would Go
was The Best Old Hound Dog I Ever Did Know

i Had A Dog And His Name Was King
i Told The Dog About Everything
there In My Truck The Dog And I
then One Day The King Up And Died

then I Thought About The Times We Had
once When I Kicked Him When He Was Bad
old King Sure Meant A Lot To Me
but That Hound Dog Is History

king Went A-Runnin' After Dear
wasn't Scared Of Jumpin' Off The Truck In High Gear
king Went A-Sniffin' And He Would Go
was The Best Old Hound Dog I Ever Did Know

that Old King Was A Friend Of Mine
never Knew A Dog That Was Half As Fine
i May Find One, You Never Do Know
'cause I Still Got A Long Way To Go

i Had A Dog And His Name Was King
i Told The Dog About Everything
old King Sure Meant A Lot To Me
but That Hound Dog Is History

king Went A-Howlin' After Deer
wasn't Scared Of Jumpin' Off The Truck In High Gear
king Went A-Sniffin' And He Would Go
was The Best Old Hound Dog I Ever Did Know
