OLD DOG TRAY
By: Stephen C. Foster 1853
Key: G

-1   -1  3   -2* 3   -3
The morn of life is past
-3  -4   -3   -2*  -1  -1
And eve-ning comes at last
-4   -4  -3* -4  -5
It brings me a dream
4 -3  3    3  -4 -3
Of a once hap-py day
-1 -1  3   -2*    3   -3
Of mer-ry forms I’ve seen
-3 -4 -3  -2*  -1   -4
Up-on the vil-lage green
 -4    4   2   -3  3  -2*  3
Sport-ing with my old dog Tray

-5  -3    -3   -3 -4   3   -1
Old dog Tray’s ev-er faith-ful
 -5   -3  -3   -3    3 -3 -4
Grief can-not drive him a-way
 -1  -1   3  -2* 3   -3
He’s gen-tle, he is kind
 -3  -4  -3  -2* -1  -4
I’ll nev-er, nev-er find
-4 -4  4    2     -3   3  -2*  3
A bet-ter friend than old dog Tray
