[Verse 1]
C Am G
Well, Fred was a dog I used to own. He used to answer the telephone, and
F
every now and then he'd take the
G C Am
truck into town for groceries. Yeah, Fred and I got along real well. At the
G
checker board old Fred was hell
F G C Am
and he never minded takin turns at doin' the dishes. Now when Fred was just
G
about three years old he started
F G
actin' kind of bold and he's chasin' after that Beagle down across the
C Am
highway. Well he's down there every day
G F
and night I said Fred, ya know ya gonna have to fight he said well, I've
G
already whipped everything 'tween
here
C
and the railroad.
[Chorus]
Am G F G F G C
Fred, you are a good dog, but the women gotch you runnin' wild and crazy as a
Am G
Loon. Fred, you are a good dog
F G F G C
but ya chasin' cars, hangin' out at bars and howlin' at the moon.
[Verse 2]
Am G
Well now one night ol' Fred came a stragglin' in, he's lookin' bad but he was
F
sportin' a grin, he said paw,
I just
G C Am
took a wife and I want ya ta meet 'er. Well, now she didn't have very much to
G
say, it was plain
to see she was in a
F G C
family way. And she said Fred, ya better whip on back and get my suitcase.
Am
Well Fred never made
it to the other
G F
side cause right in the middle of the road he died, flattened by a trucker
C Am
hauling dog food. Now ol Fred's
gone
G F
and she's a livin' here just a yackin' at her kids and drinkin' my beer, and
G
she won't drive the truck
nor do the
C
dishes.
