Lyrics Eli - Arthur Russell

Eli, Eli, Eli
Eli, Eli, Eli
A simple dog
With ears and nose

Eli, Eli, Eli
I don't why nobody likes him
There's some people trying to put him away
When he comes up to them
They always say "Go away"
"Go away, please take him home"
"Make him stay"

Eli, Eli, Eli
Eli, Eli, Eli
Several times I've tried to tell him
"Please don't make them say that"
But he won't listen to me
Sometimes I pray that there could be more between us
But some people never are satisfied

Eli, Eli, Eli
Eli, Eli, Eli
