He Got No One, But His Dog

Old Candy
he got no family
got no one
but his dog.
His old
old
ancient dog.
Who follows him around
Who got no teeth
Who stinks like hell
Carlson wants 'em
he wants 'em
dead.
He's too old, Candy, he says
Too old.
An' so he shot 'im
just like that
Old Candy
he got no family
got no one
but his dog
He had 'im for a long
long
time.
He feeds 'im milk
He herd sheep with 'im
He loves 'im.
And it got shot that day
just like that
Just
like
that.
Old Candy
he got no family
got no one
but is dog
Now he's lyin'
on his bed
wondering why
why
he didn' kill 'im
himself.
