[Verse 1]
How can that dog be
Barkin' in the backyard?
We ran over him years ago

[Verse 2]
How can that dog be
Runnin' by the back fence?
We ran over him years ago

[Chorus]
Ghost of a dog
Barkin' in the backyard

[Verse 3]
How can that dog be
Scratchin' by the back door?
We ran over him years ago

[Verse 4]
How can that dog be
Lyin' under that shady tree
Where we buried him years ago?

[Chorus]
Ghost of a dog
Barkin' in the backyard
