How can that dog be
Barkin' in the backyard?
We ran over him years ago

How can that dog be
Runnin' by the back fence?
We ran over him years ago

Ghost of a dog
Barkin' in the backyard

How can that dog be
Scratchin' by the back door?
We ran over him years ago

How can that dog be
Lyin' under that shady tree
Where we buried him years ago?

Ghost of a dog
Barkin' in the backyard
