I'm a-walkin' the dog And I'm never blue I'm a-walkin' the dog I ain't thinkin' 'bout you Don't need no one To tie me down I'm a-walkin' the dog And a-paintin' the town
Such an easy life I never knew Until the day That I left you Well, I'm a carefree lad That's seen the light I'm a-walkin' the dog All the day and all night
Well, I'm full of pep I just can't grow old I got a one-track mind So I've been told But I'm fancy free I don't worry no how And, I'm walkin' the dog All the law will allow
Such an easy life I never knew I can't believe It's really true Well, I'm a carefree lad That's seen the light And I'm a-walkin' the dog All the day and all night
(As performed by Patsy Cline, radio transcription)
I'm a-walkin' the dog And I'm never blue I'm a-walkin' that dog I not thinkin' 'bout you I don't need no one To tie me down 'Cause I'm walkin' that dog And a-paintin' the town
Such an easy life I never knew Well, I can't believe That it's really true Well, I'm a carefree gal That's seen the light And I'm a-walkin' that dog All the day and all night
Well, I'm full of pep I just can't grow old I got a one-track mind So I've been told But I'm fancy free I don't worry no how 'Cause I'm walkin' that dog All the law will allow
Such an easy life I never knew Until the day That I left you Well, I'm a carefree gal That's seen the light And I'm walkin' that dog All the day and all night
