Roches, The – Damned Old Dog

(Words & Music by Margaret A Roche)

Do I wanna be a dog?

any diddlin’ male would do

if I was a damned old dog

I wouldn’t be fussy for you

Do I wanna be a housebroken dog

eat better than an Indian

I don’t wanna be a damned old dog

I just wanna lick your chin again

I thought that I could convince you

I thought that I could get through

chew out a hole in the fence you

barked up between me and you

Limpin’ around in the moonlight

coverin’ up what I did

words decompose all around me

nuisances I committed

Do I wanna be a dog

cut the heat out of me

if I was a damned old dog

I wouldn’t have to goddamn human be
