[00:00:08] Two little boys and an old family dog

[00:00:14] By the banks of a stream sat one day

[00:00:21] The boys decided old rover must die

[00:00:28] A nusance well out of the way

[00:00:35] The poor old fellow stood close by their side

[00:00:41] His fate he couldn't quite understand

[00:00:48] With a wag of his tail and a half sobbing wail

[00:00:55] He reached out and licked at their hands

[00:01:02] Remember I'm your best friend boys

[00:01:09] Oh no one could love you so true

[00:01:16] Though you may beat me and bang me today

[00:01:23] Tomorrow I'll play games with you

[00:01:29] I know I am old and quite in the way

[00:01:36] But life to me still holds a charm

[00:01:43] Well I've only one favor to ask of you boys

[00:01:50] Let me spend my last days on the farm

[00:02:04] With a rope round his neck they were ready to tie

[00:02:11] His pleading seemed of no avail

[00:02:17] Just then one of the boys slipped and fell in the stream

[00:02:24] The other stood by deadly pale

[00:02:31] A loud cry for help and old rover plunged in

[00:02:38] No sight of old age or delay

[00:02:45] And as he slowly swam back to the shore

[00:02:51] The waves dashing by in his face

[00:02:58] Remember I'm your best friend boys

[00:03:05] Oh no one could love you so true

[00:03:12] Though you may beat me and bang me today

[00:03:19] Tomorrow I'll play games with you

[00:03:25] I know I am old and quite in the way

[00:03:32] But life to me still holds a charm

[00:03:38] Well I've only one favor to ask of you boys

[00:03:45] Let me spend my last days on the farm
