HOUND DOG

Live 24 Jun 1989 version


[guitar solo]

Yeahhhh! You
And you
And you
And you
And you
And you
And you
And you
And you
You ain't nothin' but a hound dog
Cryin' all the time
You ain't nothin' but a hound dog
Cryin' all the time
You ain't never caught a rabbit
And you ain't no friend of mine

They said you're a high-classed
That was just a lie
Yeah they said you're high-classed
Well that was just a lie
You ain't never caught a rabbit
And you ain't no friend of mine

Come on now baby!

[long instrumental, including guitar solo]

Baby, you ain't nothin' but a hound dog
Cryin' all the time
Well you ain't nothin' but a hound dog
Cryin' all the time
You ain't never caught a rabbit
You ain't no friend of mine

Baby, they said you're a high-classed
That's just a lie
They said you're a high-classed
That was just a lie
You ain't never caught a rabbit
You ain't no friend of mine

[long instrumental, including guitar solo]

Yeahhhh, what the hell we gonna do now?
Let's go ???
I said you
You
You
You
you ain't nothin' but a hound dog
Cryin' all the time
You ain't nothin' but a hound dog
Cryin' all the time
You ain't never caught a rabbit
You ain't no friend of mine

You ain't nothin' but a hound dog
Cryin' all the time
You ain't nothin' but a hound dog
Cryin' all the time
You ain't never caught a rabbit
You ain't no friend of mine

You ain't nothin' but a hound dog
Cryin' all the time
You ain't nothin' but a hound dog
Cryin' all the time
Whoa
You ain't never caught a rabbit
You ain't no friend of mine
