Analysis of Pally's Song
I had a little dog, her name was Pally
I loved her very much and she loved me
Then one day she died
How I miss her so
I miss her more than you could know
I miss little Pally
I wish that I could see her once more
I think of little Pally
I wish that I could see her at my door
One night I had a dream about her
Though crazy, to you, it may seem
But I just felt so much better
When Pally ran to me in my dream!
She ran to me in my dream,
And she smiled and jumped right on me!
Oh, I just felt so much better
When Pally ran to me in my dream!
