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.
We like to do the last number and go and recover.
One, two, three, four!
You aint nothin but a hound dog,
Cryin all the time;
You aint nothin but a hound dog,
Cryin all the time.
You aint never caught a rabbit
And you aint no friend of mine.
When they said that you was highclassed,
That was just a lie;
When they said that you was highclassed,
That was just a lie.
You aint never caught no rabbit,
You aint no friend of mine.
You aint nothin but a hound dog,
Cryin all the time;
You aint nothin but a hound dog,
Cryin all the time.
You aint never caught no rabbit
You aint no friend of mine.
You aint nothin but a hound dog,
Cryin all the time;
You aint nothin but a hound dog,
Cryin all the time.
You aint never caught a rabbit
You aint no friend of mine.
Well, they said that you was highclassed,
Well, that was just a lie;
Well, they said that you was highclassed, babe,
You know its a lie.
You aint never caught no rabbit,
You aint no friend of mine.
You aint nothin but a hound dog,
Cryin all the time;
You aint nothin but a hound dog,
Cryin all the time.
Elvis, I love you!!
You aint never caught no rabbit
You aint no friend of mine.
