Hound Dog
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
You ain't nothin' but a hound dog, keep cryin' all the time
You ain't nothin' but a hound dog, you keep cryin' all the time
You ain't never caught a rabbit, ya ain't no friend of mine
They say you was-a high class, but I could see through that
You said you was-a high class, but I could see through that
Ya ain't never caught a rabbit, ya ain't no friend of mine
You ain't nothin' but a hound dog, keep cryin' all the time
You ain't nothin' but a hound dog, you keep cryin' all the time
You ain't never caught a rabbit, ya ain't no friend of mine
You said you was high class, but I could see through that
You told me you was high class, but I could see through that
You ain't never caught a rabbit, you ain't no friend of mine
You ain't nothin' but a hound dog, keep cryin' all the time
You ain't nothin' but a hound dog, you keep cryin' all the time
You ain't never caught a rabbit, you ain't no friend of mine
Now look out there!
Yeah..Ooo-haha
