[A] [D]
Well Fred was a dog I used to [E] own He used to answer the [A] telephone
And every now and then he'd take the truck into [D] town for grocery
Yeah Fred and I got along real [E] well At the check board old Fred was [A] held
And he never minded taking turns at [D] doing the dishes
[Bm] Now when Fred was just about three years [A] old He started acting kind of [G] bold
And he's chasing [A] after that beagle [D] down across the highway
[Bm] Well he's down there every day and [A] night And I said, Fred, you know you're gonna have
to [G] fight And he said, well, I've [A] already whipped everything
[D] between here and the railroad [Bm] Fred, you [A] are a good dog
[G] But the women [A] got you running wild and crazy [D] as a moon
[Bm] Fred, you [A] are a good dog [G] But you're chasing [A] cars, hanging out at bars
And howling [D] at the moon Well now one night old Fred came straggling
[E] in He's looking bad but he's sporting a [A] grin
He said, Mona, just took a wife and I [D] want you to meet her
Well now she didn't have very much to [E] say It was plain to see she's in the family [A] way
And she said, Fred, you better whip on back [D] and get my suitcase
