Hound From Bailey Lane

about

In 2011 I found a stray Yorkshire Terrier heading straight towards the M56. I took the starving dog in and gave it a home, and she gave me affection in return. This folk/shanty song is my tribute to my favourite dog.

lyrics

Idly driving, thought it’s just another day It all changed when I locked eyes with the hound from Bailey Lane

Walking without a collar, or a lead and owner with Heading to the traffic as if you’re trying to get squished I stopped to pull over, and deter you from the cars If you don’t have an owner I’ll have to take you in as ours

Idly driving, thought it’s just another day It all changed when I locked eyes with the hound from Bailey Lane To live a life so lonesome, with nowt going my way It all changed when I locked eyes with the hound from Bailey Lane

Fur so fair and handsome, soft to stroke and touch Your belly was so empty, you haven’t eaten much I’ll take you into my house, and fix you up a meal Your eyes started a glowin’ with the wagging of your tail.

Idly driving, thought it’s just another day It all changed when I locked eyes with the hound from Bailey Lane To live a life so lonesome, with nowt going my way It all changed when I locked eyes with the hound from Bailey Lane

You start getting settled, acquainted with the pack If they gives ya trouble you stand up and answer back Still you snuggle on the sofa almost every single day Getting on but always playful if there’s treats coming your way.

Idly driving, thought it’s just another day It all changed when I locked eyes with the hound from Bailey Lane To live a life so lonesome, and nowt going my way It all changed when I locked eyes with the hound from Bailey Lane
