Back home again br in the yard br I used to play in br br So many memories here br of days long ago br for memories, I hold dear br br Saw the grave of old shep br the dog I loved so br in this yard, he followed me every step br br He's buried between two trees you see br buried him in my brand new quilt br and my mother was really mad at me br br In this yard, I would bathe him br many years before br his old eyes grew dim br br His bed layed by the cellar door br with tall trees, all around him br oh memories, of the dog I adored br br Memories of the time br that the meter man came br he hit old shep, that wasn't very kind br br This old yard, was all shep had br he guarded it with his life br when he died, I was very sad br br This old yard, now has in it, br a lot of beautiful flowers, all round br between two trees, he wouldn't mind a bit.
