The Songs He Sang
Hound Dog: Lyrics
As performed by Cisco Houston
James Smith & Katie Lee
Appears on:Hound dog, bay at the moon Lay back your long ears, and sing your sad tune Lift up your long head, and bay at the moon Hound dog, bay at the moon Well, my cotton is weevily and my sorghum's gone bad My kinfolk have eat up what little I had Hound dog, bay at the moon Lay back your long ears, and sing your sad tune Lift up your long head, and bay at the moon Hound dog, bay at the moon Rotten potatoes and a dirty tote sack Pain in my belly and a crink in my back Hound dog, bay at the moon Lift up your long head, and bay at the moon Hound dog, bay at the moon That the Lord should forget me, does bring my heart pain I guess he's forgotten for to make it to rain Hound dog, bay at the moon Lay back your long ears, and sing your sad tune Lift up your long head, and bay at the moon Hound dog, bay at the moon May the good Lord forgive me for the things I done wrong My hound dog and me will be gone before long And then we'll quit singing this lonesome old song Hound dog, bay at the moon Lay back your long ears, and sing your sad tune Lift up your long head, and bay at the moon Hound dog, bay at the moon
Of note:
A "poor-me" song that seems uncharacteristic for Cisco, yet he does it wonderfully.
