Black Dog On The Beach

A black dog followed me
Or chased the seagulls in the sky
And the shadows on the sand
Oh, if Dad was in the Navy
I'll be a riverboat gambling man
And I’d count in the buffet
I'd walk with a thousand dollars a day
Oh, Dad always said
If he could have he would have loved to live this way
Sick and lonesome
And in need of discipline and company
The discipline of company
Well, I can describe it best
As the year the lion left
The family crest
And we made a crown out of the space that was left
