* You ain't nothin' but a hound dog
Just cryin' all the time
You ain't nothin' but a hound dog
Cryin' all the time
Well, you ain't never caught a rabbit and you ain't no friend of mine
[* Repeat]

Well they said you was high classed
Well, that was just a lie
Yeah! they said you was high classed
Well, that was just a lie
Girl you ain't never caught a rabbit and you ain't no friend of mine
[* Repeat]
Well, you ain't never caught a rabbit and you ain't no friend of mine
Just cryin' all the time
You ain't nothin' but a hound dog
Cryin' all the time
Well, you ain't never caught a rabbit and you ain't no friend of mine
[* Repeat]
[** Repeat]
Well they said you was high classed
Well, that was just a lie
