Hound Dog Lyrics by Albert King

King, Does the King’s Things

0

You ain't nothin' but a hound dog, keep cryin' all the time
You ain't nothin' but a hound dog, you keep cryin' all the time
You ain't never caught a rabbit, ya ain't no friend of mine

They say you was-a high class, but I could see through that
You said you was-a high class, but I could see through that
Ya ain't never caught a rabbit, ya ain't no friend of mine

You ain't nothin' but a hound dog, keep cryin' all the time
You ain't nothin' but a hound dog, you keep cryin' all the time
You ain't never caught a rabbit, ya ain't no friend of mine

You said you was high class, but I could see through that
You told me you was high class, but I could see through that
You ain't never caught a rabbit, you ain't no friend of mine

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

Now look out there!

Yeah...
Ooo-haha
