THAT OLD HORSE

That old horse stoo at that gate for ages
Since his master passed away
Everyone was sure it'd die there
Just as it did later on one day

They buried it 20 feet away from gate
And his old dog lay for ages on that grave
They their master went everywhere together
As told to me by masters son called Dave

Strangest thing on maters birthday yearly
They's hear dogs howling in the night
Coming from where the wind came from too
Living dogs tail between legs hiding in fright

The three of them had been a team for years
On rabbit shooting trips checking fences too
The weather had changed each year the same
Folks'd say oh well more rain for sure due

A lot more to animals than most really know
Don't believe go out ask Dave you'll find it's so
That one night deadly quiet only wind will howl
And all but for a dog and maybe a horse on the prowl

I can't tell you more than a lot but I know how it feels
