(Words & music by Jerry Leiber - Mike Stoller)
You ain't nothin but a hound dog
Cryin all the time.
You ain't nothin but a hound dog
Cryin all the time.
Well, you aint never caught a rabbit
And you ain't no friend of mine.
When they said you was high classed,
Well, that was just a lie.
When they said you was high classed,
Well, that was just a lie.
You ain't never caught a rabbit
And you ain't no friend of mine.
Big Mama Thornton (who first recorded this song, which was written for her) chastises her hubby for being a running dog for the (white) elite and failing to bring home the bacon.
Elvsi is in tears (Cryin' all the time) after having been sold a substandard frankfurter in a roll (when they said you was high classed, well, that was just a lie)
(Words & music by Jerry Leiber - Mike Stoller)
You ain't nothin but a hound dog
Cryin' all the time.
You ain't nothin but a hound dog
Cryin' all the time.
Well, you ain't never caught a rabbit
And you ain't no friend of mine.
When they said you was high classed,
Well, that was just a lie.
When they said you was high classed,
Well, that was just a lie.
You ain't never caught a rabbit
And you ain't no friend of mine.
