Big Black Dog Emmylou Harris

[Verse 1]
A big black dog
A little too much gray around the muzzle
A big black dog
Why she ended up at the pound is a puzzle
A big black dog

[Pre-Chorus]
Did she run away
Because somebody didn't treat her right?
Did they leave her out in the cold
Night after lonely night?
A big black dog

[Verse 2]
A big black dog
I found her one day down there are the at the metro
A big black dog
Waiting in a cage in line for the death row
A big black dog

[Pre-Chorus]
Did somebody put her out on the road
And did just not care?
Did they think an old dog is too much trouble
For them to bear?
A big black dog
