when he first took himself a wife.

only used them when he could.
Db
And he only had contempt
Ab

for other men

He worked and drank and
Except for one,

Ab
a mangy old blue -heeler for a friend
Db
Years ago old Gilbert found a puppy
Ab
by the roadside left to die
Hungry and frightened,
Eb
beneath the frosty southern sky,
Ab
Gilbert picked him up and raised him,
and a bond of friendship grew,
Db
a friendship that was never
Db
Then one day Gilbert woke to find
Ab
his old track mate was gone

Gilbert used to work a while

Ab
and then he'd go to town on one big spree
It was the only way he knew

Eb
to ease the pain of hurtful memories
Ab
So in a coastal town
while Gilbert drank away his cares
Db
His old dog was impounded
Db
When they couldn't find its owner,
Ab
the dog was put to sleep,
Db
Eb
and perhaps it's best if
Ab
Gilbert never knows.
Gilbert roamed from town to town,

still searching for the friend
Ab
It was the final blow from fate
Bb
that really turned the old

He was ridiculed in bar rooms,
he was laughed at in the streets,
Db
Still searching for his friend
Db
