Daddy Killed

Daddy killed the neighbor's dog
Daddy was the one to slaughter the hogs
Too much like the neck of a man
I'd say
Oh but daddy didn't mind, he'd do it anyway

When momma told daddy to kill
The neighbor's dog
He'd gotten in the duck pen adjacent the hogs
Tore at the hens with a bloody grin
And got momma set on her revenge

Daddy killed the neighbor's dog
I never called him daddy
I called him Rob
And he never could remember where he hid
The traces of all the things he did

There are many who'll do as they've been told
Scratching in the dark for fine flecks of gold
When our shepherd was staggering
Aching and old
Rob sent an arrow through her left shoulder
And while I'd like to say gratitude for lifted pain
Sprang like moss from her hillside grave
The truth is I don't know who's to say
Whether the pleasure is worth the refrain

Daddy killed the neighbor's dog
I never called him daddy
I called him Rob
