"Hound Dog" lyrics
(originally by Big Mama Thornton)
You ain't nothin' but a hound dog
Cryin' all the time
You ain't nothin' but a hou-ound dog-ah
Whinin' all the ti-ime
You ain't never caught a rabbit
You ain't no friend of mine
Woh, now they told me you was high class
Well that was just a lie
You know they told me you was high class
Well that was just a lie
You ain't never ever never caught a rabbit
You ain't no friend of mine
Well you ain't nothin' but a hou-ound dog
Stoopin' 'round my door
You ain't nothin' but a hou-ound dog
Stoopin' 'round my door
Well, you can wag your tail
But I ain't gon' feed you no more
Well you told me you was high cla-ass
They told me you was high class
They told me you was high class
They told me you was high class
You ain't never been high class, No!
Yeah, you ain't nothin' but a hou-ound dog
Your just an old hound do-og
Your nothin' but a hound do-og
You're just an' old hou-ound dog
Your nothin' but a hound do-og
Yeah you didn't tell the truth
Your nothin' but a hound dog
One more time
Play it man
Cryin' all the time
You ain't nothin' but a hou-ound dog-ah
Whinin' all the ti-ime
You ain't never caught a rabbit
You ain't no friend of mine
Woh, now they told me you was high class
Well that was just a lie
You know they told me you was high class
Well that was just a lie
You ain't never ever never caught a rabbit
You ain't no friend of mine
Well you ain't nothin' but a hou-ound dog
Stoopin' 'round my door
You ain't nothin' but a hou-ound dog
Stoopin' 'round my door
Well, you can wag your tail
But I ain't gon' feed you no more
Well you told me you was high cla-ass
They told me you was high class
They told me you was high class
They told me you was high class
You ain't never been high class, No!
Yeah, you ain't nothin' but a hou-ound dog
Your just an old hound do-og
Your nothin' but a hound do-og
You're just an' old hou-ound dog
Your nothin' but a hound do-og
Yeah you didn't tell the truth
Your nothin' but a hound dog
One more time
Play it man
