(Dave Guard/Gretchen Guard)
I met a nice old man today, oh, yes, oh, and he sure had a lot to say, a good long time ago.
I've led a soldier's occupation, oh, yes, oh, in every part of this big nation, a good long time ago.
I've seen the world and roamed its placed, oh, yes, oh. I guess I've been in a million places, a good long time ago.
But there are times when soldiering gets lonely, you long for friendly company.
So when you find an unfamiliar city, here's advice that always worked for me.
When your train gets into town, oh, yes, oh, just make a bee line to the pound, a good long time ago.
Don't just wander helter-skelter, oh, yes, oh, seek the nearest animal shelter, a good long time ago.
You soon will find the truest of companions. A little dog can melt a heart of stone.
Just when you think you're up a dreary canyon, a puppy's love can bring you close to home.
Find a store and buy some twine, oh, yes, oh. Now tie the doggie to the line, a good long time ago.
Thus prepared for any weather, oh, yes, oh. Dog and man will stand together, a good long time ago.
For mothers warn their daughters of the dangers of soldiers in their quest for girls.
Never, never speak to strangers unless their from the canine world.
A sweet young maid in passing by, oh, yes, oh, saw my smile but made no reply, a good long time ago.
The puppy fixed his gaze upon her, oh, yes, oh, two steps more and she was a goner, a good long time ago.
The sands of time have swept away the heart aches, the tears, the parting, and the pain.
The pup I gave her for a keep sake will always remind me of what's her name (what's her name?)
The Kingston Trio is an American musical group formed in 1957 in San Francisco, California. Composed of Dave Guard (vocals and guitar), Bob Shane (vocals and banjo), and Nick Reynolds (vocals and guitar), the trio made a significant contribution to the folk revival of the 1950s and 1960s. Their musical style was characterized by sophisticated harmonic arrangements, a mix of traditional American folk songs and original compositions, often with ironic or satirical lyrics. The Kingston Trio's success was enormous: they sold millions of records, had numerous chart hits, including "Tom Dooley", "M-T-M" and "Where Have All the Flowers Gone?", and were guests on popular television shows like "The Ed Sullivan Show". Their impact on the American music scene was significant, helping to spread folk music to a wider audience. After several lineup changes over the years, the group disbanded in 1967. Bob Shane continued to perform with a new formation of the Kingston Trio until his death in 2020.

My favorite group when I was just a teenager were the Fugees, thanks to them a certain curiosity about english language was born in me. I wanted to know and understand the lyrics of their songs, it wasn't enough for me to be carried away exclusively by their beautiful music.
Sweden and the United States are two countries far from each other, thousands of kilometers separate them, the language, culinary and sporting traditions, I don't feel so categorical about the landscapes, not knowing all of America there may be states that have the same reliefs of the country of northern Europe, but on one thing I am sure
