Big Black Dog

A big black dog 

 Little too much gray around the muzzle 

 A big black dog 

 Why she ended up at the pound is a puzzle 

 A big black dog 



 Did she run away 

 Because somebody didn't treat her right? 

 Did they leave her out in the cold night air 

 Too lonely night? 

 A big black dog 



 A big black dog 

 I found her one day 

 Down there are the at the men's room 

 A big black dog 

 Waiting in a cage in line for the death row 

 Big black dog 



 Did somebody put her out on the road 

 And did just not care? 

 Did they think an old dog is too much trouble 

 For them to bear? 

 A big black dog 



 Her name is Bella, Bella 

 You're not brown, you're not yellow 

  
 Bella, Bella 

 My big black dog 



 Big black dogs, they're everywhere 

 Looking for a home, they're hungry and scared 

 All they need is food and attention 

 To give back love, sometimes redemption of sin 

 You could find them here in a big black dog 



 A big black dog 

 She may be a little rough around the edges 

 A big black dog 

 When you throw a ball, she'll always go and fetch it 

 Big black dog 



 With a brand new leash and a brand new collar 

 It's a brand new game 

 I love to see the way she runs to me 

 When I holler out her name 

 My big black dog 



 Her name is Bella, Bella 

 You're not brown, you're not yellow 

 Bella, Bella 

 My big black dog
