I been shufflin' a lonesome old trail.

Hey Packy, I'm comin' back again.

D F#

My legs are tired and my feet are draggin',

G E

But I ain't gonna stop 'til I see his tail waggin'.

D A D

Hey Packy, I'm comin' back again.

A D Bm

I heard that proverb tell, a dog is a man's best friend.

There's no more detainin', I'm walkin', it's rainin',

A C A

Packy's waitin' at the rainbow, he's waiting at the rainbow's end.

The clouds drift, the world is so wide,

G E

A fellow feels lucky with a dog by his side.

D A D A

Hey Packy, I'm comin' back again.

A two-bit mutt, he ain't worth a dollar,

But you're sure gonna dig it when he comes when you holler.

D A D A

Hey Packy, I'm comin' back again.

Here I come...

Some folks are wonderin' why they was born.

They ain't never been swimmin' with a dog in the morning.
