Emmylou Harris - Big Black Dog lyrics

A big black dog Little too much gray around the muzzle A big black dog Why she ended up at the pound is a puzzle A big black dog Did she run away Because somebody didn't treat her right? Did they leave her out in the cold night air Too lonely night? A big black dog A big black dog I found her one day Down there are the at the men's room A big black dog Waiting in a cage in line for the d**h row Big black dog Did somebody put her out on the road And did just not care? Did they think an old dog is too much trouble For them to bear? A big black dog Her name is Bella, Bella You're not brown, you're not yellow Bella, Bella My big black dog Big black dogs, they're everywhere Looking for a home, they're hungry and scared All they need is food and attention To give back love, sometimes redemption of sin You could find them here in a big black dog A big black dog She may be a little rough around the edges A big black dog When you throw a ball, she'll always go and fetch it Big black dog With a brand new leash and a brand new collar It's a brand new game I love to see the way she runs to me When I holler out her name My big black dog Her name is Bella, Bella You're not brown, you're not yellow Bella, Bella My big black dog My big black dog
