Artist/Band: Tom T. Hall
Lyrics for Song: Ole Lonesome George the Basset
Lyrics for Album: Country Songs for Children [Mercury] [1995]



(Dixie Hall)



Ole lonesome George the basset lived in Brentwood Tennessee

And even though he had his faults he was a sight to see

He taught the show dog puppies to always try and please

To hold their heads and tails up and not wet the judge's knees.



Ole George was not a champion but his owners loved him so

They drived the car to the dogshows ole George would get the dough

But when he'd get out in the rain he never could win first

Several judges shook their heads and said he was the worst.



Then one day the kannel keeper got an urgent call

From the local TV to Mr. Tom T. Hall

They said Johnny Cash is puttin' on the show tonight

He says he needs a basset you've got one ain't that right.



Lonesome George went to the show and he did everything

He barked and growled and jumped around and made the rappers ring

He'd left the people cheering for another curtain call

And so ole lonesome George became the show dog after all, mhm...
