"Uncle Charlie Interview" lyrics

I was born in Kaufman County Texas
That was in 11th of September 1886
Come to California in 1906
I didn't have to go to World War I
I was too old for World War II
One good thing that I've always been proud of
I was the youngest in the family and
The rest was all married and I'd taken good care
Of my mother and father as long as they lived
There was a fellow up here at the Post Office one day
He's a-pettin' him
I says to him "That dog, you have no idea how smart he is
I just thought I'd tell you"
"You ain't tellin' me nothin', I know all about him"
Kids would come here
"We wanna hear old Ted sing"
In them days, I fooled with him more then
I could just commence this way:
I want you to sing now
Doh, doh, doh ooh
Now I have to take the harp
And make a sound before he'll sing
Teddy, c'mere
C'mon, c'mon out from under there
Here now, sit down, sit down Teddy
Now here I want you to sing
Sing these folks a song
Sing the Old Rugged Cross
Listen - chord with this now, here
No, no, no, no, no, sing
