(copyright Nazareth, Tiflis Tunes,inc-ascap)
Woke up this morning, my dog was dead,
Someone disliked him and shot him through the head.
Woke up this morning, my cat had died,
I know I'll miss her, sat down and cried.
Came home this evening, my hog was gone,
People here don't like me, I think I'll soon move on.
Now somethings happened, that would make a saint frown,
I turned my back and my house burned down.
