Rescue Angel

to the tune of "Oh! Susanna"

Oh black Aussie oh

Come on home with me

I know just what your breed's about

And you're just what I need

I saw you in the cage that day

Your fur it looked so dry

I knew that there you didn't belong

It made me want to cry

Oh blue Aussie oh

Come on home with me

I've got some land for you to run

And give you what you need

I came for you the very next day

Your head it hung so low

I paid the man his blood money

And said come on let's go

Oh red Aussie oh

Come on home with me

There's lots of love and you will have

The forever home that you need

When will people learn to breed

With more thought and with care

Merle genes can cause defects you know

A burden you must bear

Oh deaf Aussie oh

Come on home with me

With time and love I'll teach you how

To be all you can be

The owner died and times are hard

You know that it's a shame

The dog's old too oh what to do

There's no one here to blame

Hey old Aussie you're

Coming home with me

I vow you'll live your remaining days

With grace and dignity

I saw a bitch and six young pups

All huddled in a drain

So scared and cold I knew that I

Just had to ease their pain

Oh sweet Aussies you'll

All come home with me

I'll find the homes for you to love

I'm a rescue rep you see
