Brown Dog by The Young Dubliners Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Was early in November
The leaves were on the ground
I couldn't get up
I just gotten down
I'm all alone
A-waitin' by the phone
A-waitin' for your calls eventually

[Verse 2]
You filled me with worry, you filled me with fear
I'm not standing still and I'm not stayin' here
Outta my way, I can't take it no more

[Chorus]
Brown dog barking at the back door
Brown dog barking at the back door
Come on

[Verse 3]
So of on my adventure
Now where do I begin?
America called
It's callin' again
I'm jumpin' on the plane
I'm drinking all the way
I'll wake up in the sunshine evеryday
[Verse 4]
We came for the monеy, we came for the fun
Remember your mother, stay outta the sun
Livin' the life cause it's what we came for

[Chorus]
Brown dog barking at the back door
Brown dog barking at the back door
Come on

[Verse 5]
We're not goin' home
We're not goin' home
Oh, we know they're behind us
But they'll never find us
'Cause we're on our way
We're on our way

[Verse 6]
Now what's that my darling?
Now what did you say?
I know you were sad when I went away
But I'm over here
But now it should be clear
I won't be goin' back there any day
[Verse 7]
You filled me with worry, you filled me with fear
I didn't stand still and I came over here
Outta my way, I can't take it no more

[Chorus]
Brown dog barking at the back door
Brown dog barking at the back door
Brown dog barking at the back door
Brown dog barking at the back door

[Outro]
Brown dog, brown dog
Brown dog no more
Brown dog, brown dog
I won't be barkin' at your backdoor
1, 2, a-1, 2, 3, 4
Yee haw
