The dog and the bone

The dog and the bone


Verse 1

Under a clear blue sky,
On a steep green bank,
A small black dog is gnawing a big white bone.
He wags his tail
And bows his head
And there in the pond, sitting all on his own,
Under a clear blue sky,
On a steep green bank
A small black dog is gnawing a big white bone.



Verse 2

Says the dog on the bank
To the dog in the pond,
"I want your bone as well as my own, so there !"
He jumps right in,
But soon climbs out
"I'm cold and wet and I've lost my bone, and where
Was the clear blue sky
And the steep green bank
And the small black dog gnawing the big white bone ?"




Verse 3

Under a clear blue sky,
On a steep green bank,
A sad wet dog is missing his big  white bone
He droops his tail
And bows his  head
And there in the pond, sitting all on his own,
Under a clear blue sky,
On a steep green bank
Is a sad wet dog is missing his big white bone.
