Dog go howl, out in the woods, chasin' that raccoon.
Dog go howl, in the river bottom,
Want to be there soon.
Take me back with you to the river bottom,
Back there in the woods.
Back home there in those hills,
Chase that possum good.
I wanna be back home in the river bottom,
Catch them fish like the raccoon do.
Back home in the river bottom,
Lay around like the possum do.
Dog won't ever find my trail,
'Cause I'm only there in spirit.
Dog won't ever catch me and
I guess I'll never hear that
[REPEAT]
Dog go howl, out in the woods, chasin' that raccoon.
Dog go howl, out in the woods, chasin' that raccoon.
Dog go howl, out in the woods, chasin' that raccoon.
Moonlight shinin' on the ripples of the river,
Moonlight shinin' on the cottonwood trees.
Mr. Gipson, won't you tell me all about it,
Mr. Gipson, won't you tell me again,
How the dog go howl.
(Instrumental)
Dog won't ever find my trail,
'Cause I'm only there in spirit.
Dog won't ever catch me and
I guess I'll never hear that
Dog go howl, out in the woods, chasin' that raccoon.
Dog go howl, out in the woods, chasin' that raccoon.
Dog go howl, out in the woods, chasin' that raccoon.
Moonlight shinin' on the ripples of the river,
Moonlight shinin' on the cottonwood trees.
Mr. Gipson, won't you tell me all about it,
Mr. Gipson, won't you tell me again,
How the dog go howl.
