bobby wants a puppy dog for christmas

Merle Haggard

by wants a puppy dog for Christmas
I know you plan to bring an electric train
But Bobby wants a puppy dog for Christmas
And that's the only song we hear him sing

Santa please remember Bobby's lonely
The closest neighbor's farm is quite a ways
And the country school don't have no children Bobby's size
And I'd like to give him something he can raise

Butch and Susie won't be here for Christmas
And Bobby won't see his cousins now till spring
If we can find a playmate he can play with
Santa that'll be all you have to bring
