It was an icy Christmas morning
When a boy named Morgan shot his dog that day
And he loved that dog, and boy he loved that gun
When he found it underneath the tree that day
Raised his gun for the first time
Took careful aim at the bullseye
But shot his dog instead
Now Morgan's dog is dead
And a .22's his new best friend
Now that Morgan's dog is dead
Now that new .22 is always close at hand
Now he's hunting for a new best friend
He can't get it out, out of his head
He said, I
will
never
miss
that
shot
again
Laid one hand on the Bible
The other on survival
But Morgan's dog is dead
Ah, he shot his own dog dead
And a .22's his new best friend
Now that Morgan's dog is dead
You got to get a gun
Just in case you're attacked
Sure hope you don't have an accident
You'd shoot someone that you probably shouldn't have
Oh no, you should never ever get a gun
Ah, you'd probably shoot your own damn dog
And your dog would be dead
Can't get it through your head...
...Home and get to bed
Morgan's dog is dead
Yes, Morgan's dog is dead
After all is done and said
Morgan's dog still dead
