Rusty Carr’s Greatest Hits - Teardrops For My Beagle

(Tune of 1982 by Randy Travis)

We went huntin' Sund'y mornin'

Way down in the slough

Huntin' things like snakes and cranes

We knew we shouldn't do

I took my ole dog Rascal

Because he's been so true

There ain't a thing that he can't spring

And chase the whole day through

But there's teardrops for my beagle

Who lost his dad-gum hide

Shit hit the fan when a half blind man

Took him for a ride

He thought Rascal was a piglet

It's sad but it's true

He skinned him down and ate his hams

With a glass of Mountain Dew

I remember seein' Rascal

Jump in his pickup truck

I tried to yell out "what the hell"

And then said "what the (edited version)"

I know I'll surely miss him

And the huntin' trips we had

But the tainted meat that ole man eat

Makes me kinda glad

But there's teardrops for my beagle

Who lost his dad-gum hide

Shit hit the fan when a half blind man

Took him for a ride

He thought Rascal was a piglet

It's sad but it's true

He skinned him down and ate his hams

With a glass of Mountain Dew

Yes he skinned him down and ate his hams

With a glass of Mountain Dew
