lyrics

Little Fern, Little Wormie
Saw your body on the pavement
I could see your heart
See your soul
You were smiling
Mama kissed you on the forehead

Mama told me you were sleeping
Mama told me you were sleeping

Stood and stared, but could not hide it
I looked away and began to cry
Saw your spine, saw it bleeding
Saw the man who found your body

And he said, you died in an instant
He said again, You died in an instant

I love you dog, I began to sing
I love you dog...

Little Fern, Little Wormie
How I long to see you running again
'Cause you were strong, you were sturdy
Glad you died doing what you loved

Most of all, I'm glad you died a happy doggy
I'm glad you died a happy dog

Rest in peace, Little Fern, go to sleep
Come and sit here, right beside me
Although you are just a dog
More than any person you remind me

Where there's life, there is love
Where there's life, there is love
Where there's life, there is love

I love you dog, I started to sing again
I went, I love you dog
And then a choir joined in, they sang, I love you dog
I really think some church bells rang, they went, I love you dog
And it went on and on and on and on again, I love you dog
But don't you ever stop running, I love you dog
I love you dog
We're all singing, we're all singing out, I love you dog
I love you dog
I love you dog
I love you dog
I love you dog
I love you dog
I love you dog

I love you dog.
