He's still got a good bark and his bite ain't soft
Yeah, he's still got heart and a line you don't cross
He's a cranky old fart who can show you who's boss
He's got a few miles left, knock on wood
He's a three legged dog but he's still pretty good

He can't see that well
He's got the mange and a tick and waggin' his tail is his one
Good trick
His breath is kinda stale when he gives you a lick
He's got a few miles left
Knock on wood
He's a three legged dog
But he's still pretty good

Three legged dog, loves to howl at the midnight train
Three legged dog, roll in the mud when we've had a good rain
Three legged dog, long as he's movin' and he ain't in pain
I'm gonna hang on to my three legged dog

I see him when he's sleepin' twitch his three good legs
I can tell he's dreamin' 'bout his huntin' days
For the time bein' guess he's doin' okay
He's got a few miles left, knock on wood
He's a three legged dog, and he's still pretty good

Three legged dog, 'three legs' is my hound dog's name
Three legged dog, when I bought him, that's how he came
Three legged dog, as long as he's movin' and he ain't in pain
I'm gonna hang on to my three legged dog
