Lyrics
(Folk song)
Who ever took my big black dog,
I wish they bring him back!
He chased the big chicks over the fence
And the little chicks through the crack!
The big chicks over the fence
And the little chicks through the crack!
Who ever took my big black dog,
I wish they’d bring him back!

Now, almost 70 years since the first grade performance, The Big Black Dog, burrowed its way into my head and would not let go. So happy to find the song and surprised that I remember most of the words and tune. Thank you for adding a smile to my day.
Wonderful story! It’s amazing how powerful musical memories can be! Thanks for sharing!
