Lyrics
Sugar, my dog
©J. D. Carroll
Creative Ventures Music
My dog was a mighty fine dog
She would always greet me home
Tail a-wagging, eyes were bright
She never let me feel alone.
My dog was a mighty fine dog
she'd be up with the morning sun.
She would walk herself around the block
and then nap until the day was done.
Chorus:
She only wanted to be with me
riding in the car
or walking down the street
And that's alright
That's alright
That's alright by me.
I'll keep her close in my heart until again we meet.
My dog was a mighty fine dog
She would always guard my house.
I used to wonder what she would have done
if someone bad had come around.
My dog was a mighty fine dog
though she didn't much play around.
But everyone would stop and say hello
when we would walk downtown.
Chorus
My dog was a mighty fine dog
but she wasn't super well behaved
She'd most times come when I'd call
other times she would procrastinate.
Sugar was a mighty fine dog
On that you can place your bet.
But now shes gone and I have to move on
But I never will forget my pet.
Chorus x2 and end
