Verse 1: Wunst me 'n' Lem Briggs 'n' ol' Bill Brown tuk a load of cawn to town,
An ol' Jim-dawg (the onry cuss) he jes' nachelly follered us.

Makes no dif'rence if he is a houn', they gotta quit kickin' my dawg aroun'.
Verse 2: As we driv' past Sam Johnson's store, passle o' yapes kem out th' door,
When Jim he stops to smell a box, they shied at him a bunch o' rocks.

Makes no dif'rence if he is a houn', they gotta quit kickin' my dawg aroun'.
Verse 3: They tied a tin can to his tail, an' run him a-past the county jail,
'N' that plumb nachelly makes me sore, 'n' Lem he cussed 'n' Bill he swore.
Chorus: Ev'ry time I come to town, the boys keep kickin' my dawg aroun';
Makes no dif'rence if he is a houn', they gotta quit kickin' my dawg aroun'.

Them town ducks tried to do me up, but they didn't count on ol' Jim-pup

And he shore mussed up the cote house square with rags 'n' meat 'n' hide 'n' hair!
