King Went A-runnin' After Deer
Wasn't Scared Of Jumpin' Off The Truck In High Gear
King Went A-sniffin' And He Would Go
Was The Best Old Hound Dog I Ever Did Know.

I Had A Dog And His Name Was King
I Told The Dog About Everything
There In My Truck The Dog And I
Then One Day The King Up And Died.

Then I Thought About The Times We Had
Once When I Kicked Him When He Was Bad
Old King Sure Meant A Lot To Me
But That Hound Dog Is History.

King Went A-runnin' After Deer
Wasn't Scared Of Jumpin' Off The Truck In High Gear
King Went A-sniffin' And He Would Go
Was The Best Old Hound Dog I Ever Did Know.

That Old King Was A Friend Of Mine
Never Knew A Dogthat Was Half As Fine
I May Find One, You Never Do Know
'Cause I Still Got A Long Way To Go.

I Had A Dog And His Name Was King
I Told The Dog About Everything
Old King Sure Meant A Lot To Me
But That Hound Dog Is History.

King Went A-howlin' After Deer
Wasn't Scared Of Jumpin' Off The Truck In High Gear
King Went A-sniffin' And He Would Go
Was The Best Old Hound Dog I Ever Did Know.
