Letras de Oh, Yes, Oh!

I met a nice old man today (oh yes oh)
And he sure had a lot to say
(A good long time ago)
I′ve led a soldier's occupation (oh yes oh)
In every part of this big nation
(A good long time ago)
I′ve seen the world and roamed its spaces (oh yes oh)
I guess I've been in a million places
(A good long time ago)

But there are times when soldiering gets lonely
You long for friendly company
So when you find an unfamiliar city
Here's what′s been always worked for me
When your train gets into town (oh yes oh)
Just make a beeline for the pound
(A good long time ago)
Don′t just wander helter skelter (oh yes oh)
Seek the nearest animal shelter
(A good long time ago)

You soon will find the truest of companions
A little dog can melt a heart of stone
Just when you think you're up a dreary canyon
A puppy′s love can bring you close to home
Find a store and buy some twine (oh yes oh)
Now tie the doggie to the line
(A good long time ago)
Thus prepared for any weather (oh yes oh)
Dog and man will stand together
(A good long time ago)

For mothers warn their daughters of the dangers
Of soldiers and their quest for girls
Never, never speak to strangers
Unless they're from the canine world
A sweet young maiden passing by (oh yes oh)
Saw my smile and made no reply
(A good long time ago)
The puppy fixed his gaze upon her (oh yes oh)
Two steps more and she was a goner
(A good long time ago)

The sands of time have swept away the heartaches
The tears, the parting and the pain
The little pup I gave her for a keepsake
Will always remind me what′s her name
(What's her name)
