I remember when we met
Down at the county fair
You had a sparkle in your eye
And a shine in your golden hair
Things were so much better then
Before you got that bite
Now I wonder where my girl's gone
And why you always want to fight
Rabies got my baby
But I just can't let her go
Dunno if she wants to kiss me
Or rip out my throat
Said I'd always love you
No matter what we went through
Who would have thought that rabies
Would make it so hard to do
Well still I love you baby
No matter how bad things get
Maybe we should see a doctor
Or the county vet.
Rabies got my baby
But I just can't let her go
Dunno if she wants to kiss me
Or rip out my throat
Your hair used to shine in the sun
You had a sparkle in your eye
Now your hair is matted
And you look like you might die
But I won't quit you darlin'
I'll be here til the end
So take my throat or my whole face
And stronger we will stand.
Rabies got my baby
But I just can't let her go
Dunno if she wants to kiss me
Or rip out my throat.
