Lyrics: Tex and Cliff Grimley
Music: Tex and Cliff Grimley
Played by Jerry Garcia with the Black Mountain Boys in March 1964. Not to be confused with the
Rufus Thomas song with the same title.
I'm walkin' the dog, and I'm never blue
I'm walkin' the dog, and thinkin' 'bout you
I don't need no one to tie me down
I'm walkin' the dog, and I'm paintin' the town
Such an easy life, I never knew
Until the day that I left you
I'm a carefree lad that's seen the light
I'm walkin' the dog all the day and all night
Well, I'm full of pep, I just can't grow old
I got a one-track mind, so I've been told
I'm fancy free, no worries no how
I'm walkin' the dog all the law will allow
Such an easy life, I never knew
Until the day that I left you
I'm a carefree lad that's seen the light
I'm walkin' the dog all the day and all night
Such an easy life, I never knew
Until the day that I left you
I'm a carefree lad that's seen the light
I'm walkin' the dog all the day and all night
