Luyện nghe bài hát Old Tige

Tige, you were faithful, to the end
Tige, how I you, you were my best friend

years of army service done and I was headin' home at last
I got to thinking 'bout my dog and things long gone
How old Tige pulled me from a creek when I had no pulse or
How he saved me the changin' bull that gored my dad to death

As a kid I'd dream of and tremble to my toes
Till old Tige come up to my bed and nudge me his nose
my fears would melt away and Tige would go lie down
I'd drift on to sleep without another sound

The big bus stopped and I got off it was dark and thick with fog
Then something gently nuzzled me and stood Tige, my dog
I wondered if my faithful dog had met the bus day
And all the winter nights since I'd been away

Have Tige meet me here like I was I was really glad
'Cause I hadn't needed Tige so much since the day they've dad
Too long miles still lay ahead, but I didn't know
A giant Dam was being built where the old used to go

I think the Lord was sending Tige and I where he led
Knowing well without his help that I'd be good as
Tige inched along way and that going rough and slow
And I hear the water a lappin' at the ledges far below

Then the mist, I saw a light and mother in her chair
And I reached down to pet old Tige, but he wasn't
I'm mom, you had old Tige these three lonely years
I owe my life to him, I couldn't help my tears

You say you wrote me 'bout the Dam well God was with us
I get your letter Mom but old Tige met the bus
I hate to tell you son she said but now you've got to
When you left it broke his heart, Tige three years ago

You were my friend
