• Found in: One More Time, It's Not Fair to Me, and 50 Ways to Fool Your Mother

CHORUS My dog Sam was a good old dog; he was my best friend Now he’s gone and he won’t be back, and I’ll never see him again I’ll never see him again

My mom brought him from the pound when I was only three She gave him baths, my dad gave him bones, but he mostly belonged to me He mostly belonged to me.

CHORUS

Sam chased rabbits, Sam chased squirrels, one time he caught a skunk We washed him in tomato juice, but you know that dog still stunk You know that dog still stunk.

CHORUS

The first night that I slept outside I was so scared I thought I’d die The sky was big and the night was dark, but Sam stayed right by my side He slept right by my side.

CHORUS

The other night I woke from sleep, I knew something was wrong I’d seen Sam in my dreams and I knew that old Sam was gone I knew that old Sam was gone.

CHORUS

I’ve still got Sam’s tennis ball, I keep it in my penny can I’m gonna get me another dog, but I’ll never get another Sam I’ll never get another Sam
