Good Hard Dog Lyrics


Slim Dusty Good Hard Dog


Ahh, thin as a whip an' strong as Steel
He's the dog that will not heel
But he'll worked the whole day through and half the
night,
As quick as a flash he’s to the lead
What more could any stockman need
Then a good hard dog that'll turn the mob an' bite.

You can have your fancy cutting horse,
When you're musterin’ on a water course,
He’s as useless as a crow in a pen of lambs,
'Course a good hard dog will beat him flat
He'll hit the lead and turn them back,
In the time it takes to gather up your reins.

[Instrumental]

Doesn’t need no fancy groomin’ thinners
A whip but still he’s blooming
But only just a bit of a feed at night,
Well a bit of a pat from the master's hand,
An' night watch all night he'll stand,
Yes give me a good hard dog that will turn and bite.

A muster’ or in the pen,
He’s better to ya then ten men
He'd always on his toes and ready to fight,
He's a faithful mate and loyal too
He'll do anything he can for you
Yes give me a good hard dog that will turn and bite.

[Instrumental]

I remember when he was a pup,
If I could only have the luck,
To break a good dog in to make the lead,
Well now when I feed him every night
I know this pup has turned out right
An' he's well and truly worth his daily feed.
Pretty good dog.

Yes thin as a whip and strong as steel
He's the dog that will not heel,
But he'll worked the whole day through and half the
night,
Ahh, quick as a flash he’s to the lead
What more could any stockman need
Then a good hard dog that'll turn the mob an' bite,
Yes give me a good hard dog that'll turn and bite.

Oh give me a good hard dog that'll turn and bite.
