Lyrics
This dog showed up the other day
Kids all beg dad, "Can he stay? We promise to take care of him!"
Dad was beat, He said, "OK" with a grin
So we bath him up
Made him smell real nice
Gave him treats a doggies paradise
Then, he hopped upon my lap
And gently licked my hand,
So, I quietly sang him to sleep.
Good Knight, Ole boy
See you in the morning
Want you to know your loved
Even though I know your scared,
I sing for you this prayer,
That everything will be allright,
Good Knight
Well, mans best friend he turnd out to be
He became a part of this family
Through all the shoes he snared
His loyality was there
And sometimes, I still sang him to sleep
Good Knight, Ole boy
See you in the morning
Want you to know your loved
Even though I know your scared,
I sing for you this prayer,
That everything will be allright,
Good Knight
Came home from the vet with a heavy sigh
How could I tell my friend good-bye
So we bath him up
Made him smell real nice
Gave him treats a doggies paradise
Then, he hopped upon my lap
And gently licked my hand,
So we quietly sang him to sleep
Good Knight, Ole boy
See you in the morning
Want you to know your loved
Even though I know I'm scared,
I sing for you this prayer,
Now everything will be allright,
Good night
