Lyrics

Ernesto says, "Jay Hanuman," one-two This is a story 'bout a man from Talkum County He had a dog named Bobby Shannon You could hear him chanting every day about sundown Spending all his off time in the cremation ground Chorus: Oh no, no, no Bobby I can't see you Bobby Bobby Shannon He had a picture in a Shrine of a Monkey From an old story where he jumped over the sea He could be as big as a giant Or as small as a flea Old Bobby just laughed and he wink ed at me Chorus Now he's covered with ashes and covered with sweat He looked like a man who had lost a bet He glanced around once at the burning ground Then he took off running like a scalded hound Chorus
