Leave him by the road.
'Cause the dog won't run it
Picking through spit out leaves
The dog won't even touch
Meant to shoot that dog long ago,
Just can't leave that dog alone
Maria carry a rifle
Maria carry a dog on her back
That dog is hit again
That slow dog is hit again,
With his see-thru skin,
The kind of skin you can see through
He's shot again
He's shot again
He's shot ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
He's shot again
He's shot again
He's shot ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Heal me by a river
Man retires his wife says,
But she was so sad and sick
His heart breaks in the mud
Thought I'd leave this world by twenty-one
Couldn't leave that dog alone
Maria carry a rifle
Maria carry a dog on her back
That dog is hit again
That slow dog is hit again
With his see-thru skin,
The kind of skin you can see through
He's shot again
He's shot again
He's shot ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
He's shot again
He's shot again
He's shot ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah
Maria carry a rifle
Maria carry a dog on her back
Maria carry you on her back
