Chattanooga Dog

Tom T. Hall

There's a fairground down in Chattanooga
Where a kiddie train runs up and down the track
There's an old black hound with his tongue hangin' down
And he chases that train down and back

Chorus:
And I've been chasing you like that Chattanooga dog
Even though I know you don't care
I've been chasing you like that Chattanooga dog
And it ain't gonna get me nowhere

I've been thinking that you're like that old train
Anybody gets a ticket they can ride
I'm like that hound pup I will never give up
I'll do anything to be by your side

Chorus

Every day when the kids come for playin'
To ride that old kiddie train once more
There's an old faithful hound that always hangs around
And he runs til his feet get sore

Chorus
