It's a cold night for me and old Black

Twas an old song about me and my dog

The adventures of me and old black

By Jim Smith

It been forty years since

Me and old black roamed the meadows outback

through the hill and the valley we did roam

Never a dull moment we shared

It was me and old black a very good pair

My love for my Dog grew every day

When all we had was a stick to fetch

while we were at mire play

Back then at Age 12 or 13

Me and old black were one in the same

Never a day when by we would separate

A day on an acre of land

Room to run some woods out back

A creek a lake was only part of the fun

Me and old black our world just begun

Walking on pathways down to the river bank

To watch old black run throughout the waters

Testing his doggie paddle skills

Keeping his head above water

Me and big black would be friends for life

Just one look in his eyes

and you knew everything was going to be alright

We had fun down by the old swimming hole

And the day he saved my life

I would of drown if not for big black

pulling me to safety I gave him all the glory that night

When I didn't let him leave my sight

He got his big hug with all of my might

He was my big black angel in the middle of the day

He saved my life 

its been forty years since his passing

And I'll never for get Big Black

Nothing like a loving faithful dog to be raised up with. I expect many of us have nice memories of our pets. Valentine
