lyrics

“Stray Dog”
Music & Lyric by
Dennis Genovese & Karen Mantero
© ASCAP American Trucker Publishing 1974


Stray dog, sitting on the Brooklyn pier,
Stray dog, you’d better get away from here
Stray dog, looking like you’ve never slept, stray dog, the winter brings the cruelest death
My friend, nobody’s going to take you home, dirty dog, you're carrying your troubles all alone
It’s just unfortunate, that you were never born, in a puppy palace store, to a family and a home.
You’re just not lucky, it don’t matter what you try, there’s nothing I can do, don’t look me in the eye
(Verse 3)
Stray dog, sleeping in the filthy street, stray dog, begging for a bite to eat.
My friend, looking like you’ve lost your fight, dirty dog,
you’re never going to make it through the night.
(Chorus)
I found him in the morning, an eerie looking sight.
Lying in a truck yard, he made it through the night.
Howling in the air, I heard him everywhere.
Stray dog, you won’t leave me alone, dirty dog, I can’t be taking you home
Dog go away, Dog go away, I can’t be taking you home
All right, come on, you win
