I had a little dog, a long time ago
The only friend i ever had
Just a little, little shaggy dog
It wasn't really bad
I used to take him out in the street
Everywhere i went
Down to the pumping well
Then on that bar of walking
A motor hit him
And i heard the news
He used to wake me up
Every day
With his beady eyes
And his feet
Scratching at my face, telling me it was time to rise
Out into the street
Over to the part
Where he could run and play
But now that's all over
'cause a motor hit him
And took him away
Charley my little friend
Charley my little dog
Charley charley my only friend
Charley he was so nice
Charley don't you love daddy
Charley charley my only friend
Charley my little dog
Charley my little friend
Charley only friend i ever had
My little dog, he wasn't really bad no no no
And now he's gone, that's why i feel
So very sad sad
He used to wake me up, every day
With his little beady eyes, and his little feet, his little feet, scratching at my face
