Meet him by the road

There′s a dog, went running

Picking through spit out leaves a 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-through skin

The kind of skin you can see through

He's shot again

He's shot again

He′s shot a-a-a-a-a-a

He′s shot again

He's shot again

He′s shot a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a

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 21

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-through skin

The kind of skin you can see through

He's shot again

He′s shot again

He's shot a-a-a-a-a-a

He's shot again

He′s shot again

He′s shot a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a

Maria, carry a rifle

Maria carry a dog on her back

Maria carry you on her back
