Cry Of A Lonley Dog

I wish someone would tell me
What it is that I've done wrong
Why do I have to stay chained up
And be left alone so long?
They seemed glad to have me
When I came here as a pup
There were many things we'd do
When I was growing up.
The master said he'd train me
As a companion and a friend
The mistress said she'd never fear
To be alone again.
The children said they'd feed me
And brush me every day
They'd play with me and walk me
If only I could stay.
All I had you see is love
I wish they would explain
Why they said they wanted mine
and left it on a chain?
The children never walk me.
They always say: "Not now".
I wish that I could please them.
Won't someone tell me how?
But now the master 'hasn't time'
The mistress says I shed
She doesn't want me in the house
not even to be fed.
