Old Bo (song I wrote about my dog that died)
I wrote this song a long time ago but this is the first time I ever posted it on YouTube. The two pictures I used in this video are not pictures of my dog but they look just like him. Btw Obama had a dog whose name was also Bo and he recently died. I send my thoughts and prayers because I know how hard it is to lose a loved one and a family member.Show more

Well I had an old dog with a furry golden coat
A waggin` tail and a big black nose
I guess you could say he was a purdy good dog
At least most of the time

Well he chased a few cars and he chased a few cats
But he never hurt nobody
And if you petted him once and you petted him twice
He`d be your life long buddy

Ol Bo why`d ya up and go dont ya no I`m missing you now
Ol Bo why`d ya up and go dont ya no I`m missing you now

Well he ran thru the fields and he ran thru the meadows
Swam in the Spokane river
Then one time much to my surprise
He caught a big fish for dinner

Well me and that old dog we had a lot of fun
No matter what the weather
And thru the wind and the rain and the snow and the cold
We would be always together

Ol Bo why`d ya up and go dont ya no I`m missing you now
Ol Bo why`d ya up and go dont ya no I`m missing you now

(here comes the sad part where Ol Bo dies)

Well the years rolled along and nature took its course
Bo he died right out on the porch
I found him there the very next morning
Tears welled up in my eyes

So I buried him out in the backyard
With the sun burning up in the sky
And with a cool breeze blowin` and a sweet song singin`
He picked a bad day to die

Ol Bo why`d ya up and go dont ya no I`m missing you now
Ol Bo why`d ya up and go dont ya no I`m missing you now
