Big Black Dog

Lyrics

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
 My big black dog
