the bloodhound of blue heron - spence hood lyrics

[intro]
a dog makes a good living sniffing luggage
busting smugglers, serving justice
the pride of the town
was that brown*eyed beagle’s nose
when one day the force’s newest member
proved himself a real contender for the throne
what’d they call that new dog?
the bloodhound of blue heron

[chorus]
lord, gimme gangrene or scurvy
i just pray i ain’t never worthy
of a seat at the table
sipping from the ladlе of legacy
because thе hero’s journey sounds
like a real slow death to me

said that hound to the beagle
“kid, you and me? we could be lethal
three weeks tops and these cops
would be at our beck and paw”
but that hound reeked of treason
“you got ‘blood’ in your name for a reason kid
how am i supposed to trust you at all?”
he said “i come to you with grace
h*ll, you’ve spent longer in this place
and a dog ain’t nothing with no one
to test his bite.”
so with the stench of skepticism in the air
the beagle said “alright”
[chorus]
lord, gimme gangrene or scurvy
i just pray i ain’t never worthy
of a seat at the table
sipping from the ladle of legacy
because the hero’s journey sounds
like a real slow death to me

the wind that day was howling
took ‘em hours till they found him
beat to h*ll, “beagle, tell us
where’s your friend?”
and he said
“that scoundrel left me for dead
he knew i’d find that stash he planted
then that mastiff he commanded
to bust my nose and leave me stranded
and just before he ran he added
‘sorry kid, i’m a one*man bandit’
never thought i’d say
i gotta hand it to the bloodhound of blue…”

[outro]
lord, gimme gangrene or scurvy
keep my ambitions earthly
every king is doomed to fall
but i’m no domino
may i foam at the mouth
before i thirst for the crown
and end up just like our
crooked canine friend
the bloodhound of blue heron
