Those Weary Dogs Of Mine 1919

Oh, in the morning
when I get out of bed,
Oh, in the morning,
my feet ache to my head,
I done tried big shoes,
small shoes,
sharp pointed ones too
but no matter what old shoes I try
they pinch my poor feet
black and blue.

Oh, those dogs!
These weary dogs of mine,
they bark at me
both rain or shine,
I put them in water
and I put them in snow,
Old Doc Bly said:
"Why don't you try
to put them in Sapolio."
No matter how I look around
I can never find
a sure cure for these
poor weary dogs of mine.

Oh, those dogs!
These weary dogs of mine,
they bark at me
most all the time,
They're not made of iron
and they're not made of tin
Doggone me
weary dogs on me
they lasted till we reached Berlin.
It sure was fine
the sun did shine
the day I bathed them in the River Rhine
it was a sure cure
for these poor
weary dogs of mine.

Oh, in the army
the bugler shakes your bed,
Oh, in the army,
He'll wake you if you're dead,
you go on long hikes,
shoe spikes,
they weigh twenty pounds,
But among the rattlin' of the guns
I hear the barking of my hounds.

Oh, those dogs!
These weary dogs of mine,
they bark at me
both rain or shine,
I put them in water
and I put them in snow,
Old Doc Bly said:
"Why don't you try
to put them in Sapolio."
No matter how I look around
I can never find
a sure cure for these
poor weary dogs of mine.

Oh, those dogs!
These weary dogs of mine,
they bark at me
most all the time,
They're not made of iron
and they're not made of tin
Doggone me
weary dogs on me
they lasted till we reached Berlin.
It sure was fine
the sun did shine
the day I bathed them in the River Rhine
it was a sure cure
for these poor
weary dogs of mine.
