Dog Days

Paper bags
In sweaty hands
Shooing flies away
Reflections on a porch
Are shelter from the scorch
When dog days came around
Babies squall
As August crawls
Past old folks in the shade
The weathervane was stuck
And White Oak Creek would drop
When dog days came around
The dog days were scorchers
Southern torchers
But we found an answer to the plight
It was a Dog Day's Night
Evening brings
A front porch scene
A time to rest your bones
And pray you won't be here
Come this time next year
When dog days come along
The dog days were scorchers
Southern torchers
But we found an answer to the plight
It was a Dog Day's Night
Mmm
Ooo
The dog days were scorchers
Wah, Southern torchers
But we found an answer to the plight
It was a Dog Day's Night
Oh, yeah
Come on dog days
Days, oh yeah
