Lyrics Just a Man and His Dog - Red Foley

There they go side by side
Every step filled with pride
It's a wonderful sight to be hold
Just a man with his dog
A seeing-eye dog
Far more precious than silver and gold

Now a start light turns red
But the dog turns his head
And together they wait for the green
Just a man and his dog
A seeing-eye dog
Surely god must be there in between

Today I watched a blind man on a busy thoroughfare
And I bowed my head and ravished that god was there
His step was light and springy, and his head was high and proud
As he clutched the faithful dog that led him safely through the crowd
They paused on every corner where the light was turning red
And I marveled at the dog who gave the cue to go ahead
I shuddered as I thought of all the dangers that was near
But their manner was determined, and they showed no trace of fear
No, I didn't see a halo, but I know that it was there
For I'm sure that god was walking between that noble pair

There they go side by side
Every eye opens wide
Sheep and shepherd are far from the foe
Just a man and his dog
A seeing-eye dog
Heaven's blessings are truly untold

Now a taxi cries out
And the crowd turns about
But the dog has control of the scene
Just a man and his dog
A seeing-eye dog
Surely god must be there in between
