Текст песни Chattanooga Dog

(Tom T. Hall)

"This gem of a song idea flows naturally from the story of a dog
that was introduced to me by Gene Goeforth in Chattanooga."

There's a fairground down in Chattanooga
Where a kiddy train runs up and down the track
There's an old black hound that always hangs around
And he chases that train down and back.

And I've been chasing you like that Chattanooga dog
Even though I know you don't care
I've been chasing you like that Chattanooga dog
And it ain't gonna get me anywhere.

--- Instrumental ---

Well, I'm thinking that you're like that old train
Anybody gets a ticket to rideTom T. Hall - Chattanooga Dog - http://ru.motolyrics.com/tom-t-hall/chattanooga-dog-lyrics.html
I'm like that pup I won't ever give up
I'd do anything to be by your side.

I've been chasing you like that Chattanooga dog
Even though I know you don't care
I've been chasing you like that Chattanooga dog
And it ain't gonna get me anywhere.

Every day when the kids come for playing
To ride that ole kiddy train once more
There's that old faithful hound with his tongue hangin' down
And runnin' till his feet get sore.

And I've been chasing you like that Chattanooga dog
Even though I know you don't care
I've been chasing you like that Chattanooga dog
And it ain't gonna get me anywhere...
