Jon Hanson songs
This is a song I wrote a few months ago about a hound dog that spent his days playing a Dobro. This version is from my friend Danuel Canueto of Buenos Aires, Argentina.

Born in an alley behind an old blues bar
Never treed a squirrel; never chased a car
Spent his days with a Dobro someone left behind
It only had five strings but he didn't mind
Dobro Doggy- knew he'd be a star one day
He was just an old hound dog but man that cat could play
He learned to claw pick; Chet Adkins would approve
But what he really loved was that old blues groove
Cut his teeth on Muddy, Robert Cray, and BB King
That dog could play anything that had strings
Dobro Doggy- knew he'd be a star one day
He was just an old hound dog but man that cat could play
A big shot from a label was passing through the town
Heard the dog and said man I gotta have that sound
With one paw mark he gave up all that he owned
Now he’s tied to the record company giving him the bone
Dobro Doggy- knew he'd be a star one day
He was just an old hound dog but man that cat could play
