Lyrics and Music by Richie Kavanagh
Chorus
I had a Jack Russell for 15 years or more,
And he never would let anybody inside of the door.
He was a little devil, a woeful dog to bark,
And when he’d show his teeth he was like a little Shark.
Well he’d wake you in the morning, he’d be barking at the cat.
And when he’d ate his breakfast, he’d lay there on the mat.
He’d be waiting for the Postman, he’d never let him past.
He didn’t like the postman, he’d want to bite his ass.
Chorus
I had a Jack Russell for 15 years or more,
And he never would let anyone inside of the door.
He was a little devil, a woeful dog to bark,
And when he’d show his teeth he was like a little Shark.
Me old Jack Russell, he didn’t have no fear.
If he heard a sound he’d always cock his ear.
He’d make you feel so safe, in the bed at night.
When Jack was outside you’d know everything was right.
Chorus
I had a Jack Russell for 15 years or more,
And he never would let anyone inside of the door.
He was a little devil, a woeful dog to bark,
And when he’d show his teeth he was like a little Shark.
Well he’d wake you in the morning, he’d be barking at the cat.
And when he’s ate his breakfast he’d lay there on the mat.
He’d be waiting for the Postman, he’d never let him past.
He didn’t like the postman, he’d want to bite his ass.
Chorus
I had a Jack Russell for 15 years or more,
And he never would let anyone inside of the door.
He was a little devil, a woeful dog to bark,
And when he’d show his teeth he was like a little Shark.
A little Jack Russell a woeful dog to bark.
About the Song,…..My Little Jack Russell.
The small terriers we know today, were first bred by the Reverend Jack Russell. A parson and hunting enthusiast born in 1795, they can trace their origin to the now extinct English White terrier.
