Old Dog Tray.No. 2.The morning meal is past—the next is coming fast—’Twill bring me a bill that I know I can not pay,For meats, both fat and lean, that I was jolly greenTo trust beside that old dog Tray.CHORUSOld dog Tray! always hungry—Meat can not drive him away;With his tail “druv” in behind, neither gentle nor yet kindIs that hungry dog, that old dog Tray.I hurried home one night, with a rousing appetite,For nothing had I tasted the whole of that long day.But Oh! how I was done—not a thing was left but bone—All eaten by that old dog Tray.Old dog Tray, &c.The steaks I thought my own, had vanish’d one by one—Those cutlets, those chops too, had all pass’d away;Those tenderloins were gone—they each and all had flown—Stolen by that old dog Tray.Old dog Tray, &c.With naught to break my fast, my eyes on Tray I cast,Who look’d as though he felt what my breaking heart would say;But oh! ’twas all deceit—’twashewho stole my meat,That hungry dog, that old dog Tray.Old dog Tray, &c.

Old dog Tray! always hungry—Meat can not drive him away;With his tail “druv” in behind, neither gentle nor yet kindIs that hungry dog, that old dog Tray.
Old dog Tray! always hungry—
Meat can not drive him away;
With his tail “druv” in behind, neither gentle nor yet kind
Is that hungry dog, that old dog Tray.

All eaten by that old dog Tray.
