dixie has gone home

I see the children in the lane

They look like friends, we'll have a game

They've got a stick, oh boy, what fun

They'll throw it for me and I'll run

But someone stops me,

I wonder why their mother screams?

Don't go near those horrid dogs, come here, come close

They're dangerous - I'll tell you why

They bite children and they die!

All I can do is watch and sigh

Cause now I know that Pit Bulls don't cry

Mom cuddles me up and says "My pet,

We love you dearly so don't you fret"

But I love everyone out there

Why can't they love me? I do care

I wish they weren't made to pass me by

I'm a Pit Bull, I don't cry

I sit behind my padlocked gate

From early morn til quite late

When I go out it's quite late

When I go out it's on a lead

Is mine the only heart to bleed?

I'm held in check as the world goes by

I wish the Pit Bull heart could cry

There are some dogs, and also men

Who cannot tell a foe from a friend

So all of us must bear the blame

Expected to live a life of shame

Condemned, alas and we know not why

All we know is we will not cry!

RIP dixie dog
