I asked my love to take a walk, to take a walk so we could talk, Down beside where waters flow, Down by the banks of the Ohio. And there I asked, will you marry me, She said “Oh, Willie, that just can’t be, I think you’re dumb, and ugly too, I’d marry a monkey before I’d marry you”. I said, Oh, fiddle, she won’t marry me, So I went home and drank whiskey, I got real drunk, fell in a ditch, All because, of that picky….lady. When I woke up, was wet and cold, Felt something running, so I blew my nose, I said these women, they’s messing with my head, Think I’ll just get me a dog instead. So I asked a dog, if he’d be mine, In no other’s pickup truck ride, Well he said “Woof”, then “Woof” again, He’s more than a dog, he’s my new best friend. . brilliant!

Thanks. I wrote it for the Maki boys, but it cuts a pretty wide swath down at the Hobo Haus. Every so often, I sing it during "Bring Your Dog Night", which is every Monday through Thursday, and there won't be a dry eye in the house.
Another one I came up with for the Hobo lads:
The Water is Wide, I can not get o're And neither have I wings to fly, I'll build me a boat that can carry two, And both shall row, my love and I.
I built the boat from a mighty tree, thinking it'd float my love and me, but the boat rode low and I feared would sink, And so I dumped my love in the drink.
Oh, love is handsome and love is sweet, But I can not abide wet feet, When a boat for two can best float one, Then a man must do what must be done.
She climbed a-shore, she sure looked wet, Thought I best mosey, or better yet, run like hell and get far away, and live to love another day.

Just sweet sixteen and now you're gone, They've taken you away, I'll never kiss your lips again, Your nose gets in the way.

You don't tug on Superman's cape You don't spit into the wind, You don't put the same cliched tough guy into all of your songs, Oh, wait a minute, I just did.

If I had a boat
I'd go out on a river
And if I had a pony
I'd ride him on a trail

My first draft was a LEINENKUGEL’S ORIGINAL. It was pretty good. I think the 2nd one was the same and I had them with ribs. It was a long time ago.

My first draft was a LEINENKUGEL’S ORIGINAL. How about Hamm's? From the land of sky blue waters, (waters) Comes the water for canoeing, Hamm's the beer refreshing, Hamm's the beer refreshing, Hamm's!

And there's that line they couldn't figure out in The Uplift War:
It's Miller time.
