You were born into trouble,
you mangy pup
Now how you gonna brag about a
bat bringin' up?
Your pappy was a hound dog,
son of a gun
You know what they say
about a father and son
Straight up, you're just like me
You ain't nothin' more now
than you ever gonna be
Yeah, your big long ears
about to shoot off
I guess you've been a -fightin'
with the big dog boss
No, you ain't it since they
invented the lid
I'm a -forty feet away
and I'm a -crowdin' your ribs
Hey, stray dog, you're a lovable too
There's a puppy down the street
that looks just like you
Well, I wonder where
you've been,
you're a ter rible sight
You must have had a little rough
go ing last night
Well, I know how you're feeling,
I wish I could help
But I've got a lot of trouble
just helping myself
Hey stray dog, you ramblin' fool
But I know how you're feeling,
I'm a stray dog too
Yeah, you're just like me,
you're a hurtin' bell
I left my home and I left my gal
Yeah, I'm lonesome,
but I ain't gonna change
Cause I just can't wear a
col lar and a chain
Stray Dog, you're just like me
Stray Dog,
you ain't nothin' more now
than you ever gonna be
No, you ain't nothin' more now
than you ever gonna be
Stray Dog,
you ain't nothin' more now
than you ever gonna be
I'm just crazy, y 'all.
