Bit by a Dog Lyrics

I heard the horn, of the old steam ferry,
I took Mary by the hand, and headed to the cemetery
I lost site of my love, I was all alone,
In the pale moonlight, the night I lost my soul,

I got bit by a dog, got bit by a dog,
I got bit by a dog, got bit by a dog,
And I don't know why
And I don't know why

I felt the hairs on my neck, bursting through my skin,
And as the cold wind blows, i caught a scent on the wind,
I was thinking thoughts, that a man shouldn't think
I tried to pray to my lord, but now he ain't my god

I got bit by a dog, got bit by a dog,
I got bit by a dog, got bit by a dog,
And I don't know why
And I dont know why

I bit down, and felt the soft bones grind between my teeth
I bit down, and felt the soft bones grind between my teeth

I got bit by a dog, got bit by a dog,
I got bit by a dog, got bit by a dog,
And I don't know why
And I dont know why
