Lyrics

Flash, Flash, Flash, Flash
He was a dog of mine
He was my age
He was a beagle and
He would not fetch
Would not this Flash of mine
He?d get angry
Pretty much of the time

Spend the day in our backyard
Or dig the fence and then run off
Flash would mostly bark and scratch
And greet me in the humid summer grass

One hot summer
Day in the afternoon
We were cutting
Our oleanders and
Flash was chained to
A Folly post because
Our back gate was
Open for hauling when

Some strange dude in overalls
Sauntered in to our backyard
Flash got mad and broke his chain
Chased him off, and I fell down laughing

Flash, Flash, Flash, Flash
He was a friend of mine
He was my age
And that was mighty old
He died when I
Went off to college and
I drove home just
In time to say my goodbyes
Say goodbye
