Hank Williams, Sr. - Move it on over

Dog is Man's best friend, sharing his victories and defeats equally.  Wolfgang has been with us for a year, making me ponder that mysterious bond between a man and his dog.  That bond is perhaps strongest in times of trial.

You bet there's a country music song for that.

Hank Williams Sr. needs no introduction, even to people who know nothing of country music.  He defined country music in the 1940s and early 1950s, blazing brightly - but briefly, as the bottle combined with a fast car silenced the voice.

This was his first big country hit, getting all the way up to #4.  It's a light hearted song about a man who, returning late one evening (likely from the bar) finds that his wife has locked him out and so has to shelter in the dog house.



Move It On Over (Songwriter: Hank Williams, Sr.)

Came in last night at a half past ten that baby of my wouldn't let me in
So move it on over (move it on over) move it on over (move it on over)
Move over little dog cause the big dog's movin' in
She changed the lock on our front door now my door key don't fit no more
So get it on over (get it on over) scoot it on over (scoot it on over)
Scoot over skinny dog cause the fat dog's movin' in
This doghouse here is mighty small but it's better than no house at all
So ease it on over (move it on over) drag it on over (move it on over)
Move over old dog cause a new dog's movin' in

She told me not to play around but I done let her deal go down
So pack it on over (pack it on over) tote it on over (tote in on over)
Move over nice dog's cause a mad dog's movin' in
She warned me once she warned me twice but I don't take no one advice
So scratch it on over (scratch it on over) shake it on over (shake it over)
Move over short dog cause the tall dog's movin' in

She'll crawl back to me on her knees I'll be busy scratchin' fleas
So slide it on over (move it on over) sneak it on over (move it on over)
Move over good dog's cause a mad dog's movin' in
Remember up before you whine that side of door ain't this side of mine
So shut it on over (shot it on over) sweep it on over (sweep it on over)
Move over cold dog cause the hot dog's movin' in
