Wait Wolfe. Well in this case “Old Shep” in this case. Nevertheless I liked creating this image and I present it to you for comments and suggestions.

Moms Early Concert

When my mom was 13 my grand parents took her to see a Red Foley concert. You know that country music of the 40’s style. In those days an artist would ask the audience if there was a song that they wanted to hear and people shout out or hold up hands for a chance to have there favorite song sang.

When Red asked the audience my mom got picked and she asked him to play “Old Shep” AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN. after the 4th time he had to give others the chance.to pick a song. 🙂

Old Shep As Sung By Elvis

And here are lyrics that even Elvis recorded.
Old Shep
Elvis Presley
When I was a lad
And old Shep was a pup
Over hills and meadows we’d stray
Just a boy and his dog
We were both full of fun
We grew up together that way
I remember the time at the old swimmin’ hole
When I would have drowned beyond doubt
But old Shep was right there
To the rescue he came
He jumped in and then pulled me out
As the years fast did roll
Old Shep, he grew old
His eyes were fast growing dim
And one day the doctor looked at me and said
“I can do no more for him, Jim”
With hands that were trembling
I picked up my gun
And aimed it at Shep’s faithful head
I just couldn’t do it, I wanted to run
I wish they would shoot me instead
He came to my side and looked up at me
And laid his old head on my knee
I had struck the best friend a man ever had
I cried so I scarcely could see
Old Shep, he has gone where the good doggies go
And no more with old Shep will I roam
But if dogs have a heaven there’s one thing I know
Old Shep has a wonderful home
Songwriters: Arthur Willis / Clyde J. Foley
