He's still got a good bark and his bite ain't soft.
Yeah, he's still got heart and a line you don't cross
He's a cranky old fart who can show you who's boss.
He's got a few miles left, knock on wood
He's a three legged dog but he's still pretty good

He can't see that well,
he's got the mange and a tick and waggin' his tail is his one good trick
His breath is kinda stale when he gives you a lick,
he's got a few miles left,
knock on wood
He's a three legged dog,
but he's still pretty good

Three legged dog
(loves to howl at the midnight train)
Three legged dog
(roll in the mud when we've had a good rain)
Three legged dog
(long as he's movin' and he ain't in pain)
I'm gonna hang on to my three legged dog

I see him when he's sleepin' twitch his three good legs,
I can tell he's dreamin' 'bout his huntin' days
For the time bein' guess he's doin' okay,
He's got a few miles left, knock on wood
He's a three legged dog, and he's still pretty good

Three legged dog
("three legs" is my hound dog's name)
Three legged dog
(when I bought him, that's how he came)
Three legged dog
(as long as he's movin' and he ain't in pain)
I'm gonna hang on to my three legged dog
