Lyrics for Uncle Charlie Interview

I was borned in Kaufman County Texas That was in 11th of September 1886 Come to California in 1906 I didn't have to go to World War I I was too old for World War II One good thing that I've always been proud of, I was the youngest in the family and The rest was all married and takin' good care Of my mother and father as long as they lived There was a feller up here at the Post Office one day He's a-pettin' him I says to him "That dog, you have no idea how smart he is, I just thought I'd tell you" "You ain't tellin' me nothin', I know all about him" Kids would come here, "We wanna here old Ted sing" In them days, I fooled with him more then, I could just commence this way: I want you to sing now (strums guitar) Doh, doh, doh (howls) Now I have to take the harp And make a sound before he'll sing Teddy - c'mere C'mon, C'mon out from under there Here now, set down - sit down Teddy Now here I want you to sing Sing these folks a song Sing the Old Rugged Cross Listen - chord with this now, heah (Blows harp, taps foot) Go dog, go dog go Sing
