He's a dynamite up tite outta sight backyard Romeo.



He looks like skin on a bone pile

A cat wouldn't give him a chance

But when he stretches his long legs out

A fox ain't got a cahnce

Tennessee hound dog, Tennessee hound dog.



Sad faced mooneyed creature

His ears hang down to his knees

The hounds call him a has been

An old aged home for fleas

Tennessee hound dog, Tennessee hound dog.



When he gets a certain kind of look on his face

She hounds run for a hiding place

'Cause when he takes a notion all the girl dogs know

He's a dynamite up tite outta sight backyard Romeo.



He looks like ugly warmed over

Some dog lovers have said that

But he's got more sense in the end of his nose

That they've got in their head

Tennessee hound dog, Tennessee hound dog.
