My Dog Sargent (Live) Bobbie Gentry

[Spoken Intro]
A lot of people ask me, when we're discussing my writing, what was the first song I ever wrote. And the one that I can remember and still play completely is a song I wrote when I was seven years old. It went like this

[Piano Solo]

[Spoken]
That was the melody, and, looking back I am surprised to see that it is musically correct and... what's more, I think perhaps it's one of the most inspired lyrics I've ever written. Probably because it was about someone that was very... dear and very close and extra special to me. And it went like this

[Verse]

Sargent, Sargent, Sargent, Sargent
My dog Sargent is a good dog
Sargent, Sargent, Sargent, Sargent
Sargent, Sargent, Sargent, Sargent
My dog Sargent is a good dog
