The story behind the song

The humor of this title becomes obvious only after you've heard the last line of the song.

This is a standard 12-bar blues and about the most cliché thing on the recording, but heck! It's a true story!

Well, kind of…. O.K., O.K…. I took a lot of poetic license. (It wasn't really my hound dog to begin with!)

The lyrics


Lyrics:
When I woke up here this morning
I found my love had run away
I heard no laughter from the kitchen
And why she left she would not say

She told me that I cannot hear her
And for this she gonna make me pay
But I know it ain't like that
I just don't believe a word she say

She laid her sorry lies upon me
Rather than quit her low down ways
And in the messy dregs she left me
I should be diggin' out for days

She's gone and left me for another
He's just as evil as can be
He went and wrecked our life together
While she pretending to be free

Now no one's bound to love another
They can be with anyone they choose
But does she have to act so hateful
And leave me here with all these blues

She even went and took my hound dog
And now I'm sittin' in this funk
She rooted up the life we planted
And left me here with all her junk
