Gil Tee - Black Dog

Most people have a black dog
But some dogs are bigger than others
This one of mine is a monstrous old swine
That goes by the name of Carruthers

Most people have a black dog
But some dogs are darker than others
Mine is a cracker and very much blacker
Than the sky over our Bill's mother's
