Old King by Neil Young | Dog Song Saturday

It's Saturday, so time for a dog song at Talking Dogs.  

Today we have a golden oldie by Neil Young called Old King.

Old King was released in 1992 on Young's Harvest Moon album. 


During a performance Young introduced the song by explaining:
"This is a song about my dog. His name is Elvis. Elvis is riding on Jimi Hendrix's bus now. He traveled with me for many years. Well, I changed his name to 'King' in the song to avoid any confusion." 

Sit. Stay. Relax and enjoy Old King by Neil Young. Scroll down after you click the video to play and you can sing along. Then if you're in the mood for more - Fetch more dog songs and music videos at Talking Dogs. You'll be surprised at how many we've collected!



Old King lyrics:

King went a runnin' after deer
Wasn't scared of jumpin' off the truck in high gear
King went a sniffin' and he would go
Was the best old hound dog I ever did know

I had a dog and his name was King
I told the dog about everything
There in my truck the dog and I
Then one day the King up and died

Then I thought about the times we had
Once when I kicked him when he was bad
Old King sure meant a lot to me
But that hound dog is history

King went a runnin' after deer
Wasn't scared of jumpin' off the truck in high gear
King went a sniffin' and he would go
Was the best old hound dog I ever did know

That old king was a friend of mine
Never knew a dog that was half as fine
I may find one, you never do know
'Cause I still got a long way to go

I had a dog and his name was King
I told the dog about everything
Old King sure meant a lot to me
But that hound dog is history

King went a howlin' after deer
Wasn't scared of jumpin' off the truck in high gear
King went a sniffin' and he would go
Was the best old hound dog I ever did know
