Slow Dog

Meet him by the road There's a dog, went running Picking through spit out leaves a dog won't even touch Meant to shoot that dog long ago Just can't leave that dog alone Maria, carry a rifle Maria carry a dog on her back That dog is hit again That slow dog is hit again With his see-through skin The kind of skin you can see through He's shot again He's shot again He's shot a-a-a-a-a-a He's shot again He's shot again He's shot a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a Heal me by a river Man retires his wife says But she was so sad and sick His heart breaks in the mud Thought I'd leave this world by 21 Couldn't leave that dog alone Maria, carry a rifle Maria carry a dog on her back That dog is hit again That slow dog is hit again With his see-through skin The kind of skin you can see through He's shot again He's shot again He's shot a-a-a-a-a-a He's shot again He's shot again He's shot a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a Maria, carry a rifle Maria carry a dog on her back Maria carry you on her back
