Written by Stephen Foster and arranged by Robin Holcomb.

lyrics

The morn of life is past, and evening comes at last
It brings me a dream of a once happy day
Of merry forms I’ve seen, upon the village green
Sporting with my Old Dog Tray

Old Dog Tray he’s ever faithful, grief cannot drive him away
He’s gentle he is kind, I’ll never, never find
A better friend than Old Dog Tray

The forms I call my own, have vanished one by one
The loved ones, the dear ones, have all passed away
Their happy smiles have flown, their gentle voices gone
I’ve nothing left but Old Dog Tray

Old Dog Tray he’s ever faithful, grief cannot drive him away
He’s gentle he is kind, I’ll never, never find
A better friend than Old Dog Tray

When thoughts recall the past, his eyes are on me cast
I know that he feels what my breaking heart would say
And though he cannot speak, I’ll vainly, vainly seek
A better friend than Old Dog Tray

Old Dog Tray he’s ever faithful, grief cannot drive him away
He’s gentle he is kind, I’ll never, never find
A better friend than Old Dog Tray
A better friend than Old Dog Tray
