(As performed by Webb Pierce) 



I'm a-walkin' the dog

And I'm never blue

I'm a-walkin' the dog

I ain't thinkin' 'bout you

Don't need no one

To tie me down

I'm a-walkin' the dog

And a-paintin' the town



Such an easy life

I never knew

Until the day

That I left you

Well, I'm a carefree lad

That's seen the light

I'm a-walkin' the dog

All the day and all night



Well, I'm full of pep

I just can't grow old

I got a one-track mind

So I've been told

But I'm fancy free

I don't worry no how

And, I'm walkin' the dog

All the law will allow



Such an easy life

I never knew

I can't believe

It's really true

Well, I'm a carefree lad

That's seen the light

And I'm a-walkin' the dog

All the day and all night





(As performed by Patsy Cline, radio transcription) 



I'm a-walkin' the dog

And I'm never blue

I'm a-walkin' that dog

I not thinkin' 'bout you

I don't need no one

To tie me down

'Cause I'm walkin' that dog

And a-paintin' the town



Such an easy life

I never knew

Well, I can't believe

That it's really true

Well, I'm a carefree gal

That's seen the light

And I'm a-walkin' that dog

All the day and all night



Well, I'm full of pep

I just can't grow old

I got a one-track mind

So I've been told

But I'm fancy free

I don't worry no how

'Cause I'm walkin' that dog

All the law will allow



Such an easy life

I never knew

Until the day

That I left you

Well, I'm a carefree gal

That's seen the light

And I'm walkin' that dog

All the day and all night
