Pisty

Tom T. Hall · Saturday Morning Songs [RCA Victor] [1979]

I got a little friend named Pisty she's a dandy

She doesn't care for movies or for candy

She doesn't care for TV or for frogs

The reason that she doesn't she's a dog.



You'd like Pisty, she's a friend of mine

Pisty is a good dog and she guards me all the time

She's about that tall and about that long

And she loves to hear me sing her in a song.



Now Pisty keeps the bad guys on the run

She guards me from the milkman when he comes

She guards me from the mailmain when he rings

And she doesn't like the man who fixes things.



And you'd like Pisty, she's a friend of mine

Pisty is a good dog and she guards me all the time

She's about that tall and about that long

And she loves to hear me sing her in a song.

Now your dog can have a song about it too

And I bet its name would fit right in this tune

So I'll leave my dog out next time we start

And you can put your dog right in that part.



And you'd like Pisty, she's a friend of mine

Pisty is a good dog and she guards me all the time

She's about that tall and about that long

And she loves to hear me sing her in a song...
