I wish somcone would tell me
What it is that I've done wrong
Why do have to stay chained up
And left alone so long?
They seemed so glad to have me
When i came here as a pup.
There were so many things we'd do
While I was growing up
But now the master "hasn't time"
The mistress says i shed
She doesn't want me in the house
Not even to be fed,
The children never walk me
They always say, "not now"
I wish that I could please them.
Won't someone tell me how?
All l had, you see. was love
I wish theywould explain
Why they said they wanted mine
And then left it on a chain.
