Lyrics:

1972
Writer(s): Michael Martin Murphey, Larry Cansler

In the plaza, fine canine,
You'll never find a dog so fine
There's none that could compare

When the dog that delivered
And from danger never quivered
A service oh so rare

Most vertibrate, vegetate,
And such case in dedication
Dorsey did not shun

Missionaries, luminaries,
Functionaries, and visionaries
Dig the deeds he done

Ahhhhhh, Dorsey the mail carrying dog
The carrying dog
Talk about your carryin' dog
Ya, your carryin' dog

People manage mail
And that's the way it was
Until Dorsey came along

A mality hit the post master
A home in bed with muster plaster
Everything went wrong

A sprightly spotted, super shepard
Lepped up like a lovable leppard
Vivid volunteer

Run through danger, sneaky strangers
Never failing, never quailing
Showing far no fear

Ahhhhhh, Dorsey the mail carrying dog
What a carrying dog
Ya, talk about your carryin' dog
oh, what a carryin' dog

Ruff ruff,
Ruff ruff,
Ahhhhhh, Dorsey the mail carrying dog

Writers tried to ruin Dorsey
But of course, he bit their horseys,
What else could he do

He could go through sleet and snow
And rain and so, as you all know
The US mail got through

You could hear the people cheer
365 days per year
The dog grew never tired

The postman who was sick
And did it, Dorsey really did
And sat home by the fire

Ahhhhhh, Dorsey the mail carrying dog
What a carrying dog
Talk about your carryin' dog
Ya, the carryin' dog
Talk about your carryin' dog
