I wasn't swimming in the 84 flood,
Up to the back porch with the water and mud,
Old cat was screaming from up under the house,
But the dog let us know and we let her go out.
Good dog, Good dog
Dog took off swimming all up under the house,
Knew what to do, but we didn't know how,
She tread the water like a fish on the run,
Put the cat on the porch when the mission was done.
Good dog, Good dog
And when she moved on and we planted a tree,
All bitter lovin' and a fond memory,
Strength in the face of your certain death,
Put the gold in your heart and you'll never misstep.
Good dog, Good dog"
