Lyrics
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
rockin' all the time.
You ain't nothin' but a hound dog
rockin' all the time.
You ain't never caught a rabbit
You ain't no friend of mine.
Well they said you was high classed,
That was all lies.
When they said you was high classed,
well, that was just a lie.
You ain't never caught a rabbit
and you ain't no friend of mine.
You ain't nothin' but a hound dog
rockin' all the time.
You ain't nothin' but a hound dog
rockin' all the time.
You ain't never caught a rabbit
You ain't no friend of mine.
(Guitar Solo)
Well they said you was high classed,
That was all lies.
When they said you was high classed,
well, that was just a lie.
You ain't never caught a rabbit
and you ain't no friend of mine.
(Guitar Solo)
Well they said you was high classed,

When they said you was high classed,
well, that was just a lie.
You ain't never caught a rabbit
and you ain't no friend of mine.
You ain't nothin' but a hound dog
rockin' all the time.
You ain't nothin' but a hound dog
rockin' all the time.
You ain't never caught a rabbit
You ain't no friend of mine.
