Lyrics
[Verse 1] Once I had a little dog I called him Cracker Jack He had a spot around one eye That looked just like a patch His legs were way too long And he was awkward as could be He wasn't much to look at But he looked alright to me I found him by the river bank Just wandering about He was cold and hungry And his ribs were sticking out I snapped my fingers, whistled When he came, I picked him up I was just a kid And Cracker Jack was just a pup I took him home and fed him 'Til he couldn't eat no more I took him to my room And put a blanket on the floor After that beside my bed Is where he'd always sleep Each night in my prayers I'd pray the lord his soul to keep [Chorus] Cracker Jack The best friend that I ever had was Cracker Jack But he was more than that A playmate, a companion He was love and understanding That was Cracker Jack The best friend that I ever had was Cracker Jack But he was more than that Everything a kid could want I had in Cracker Jack [Verse 2] Cracker Jack would run to meet me After school each day He'd jump and wag his tail And look at me as if to say "I love you and I've missed you And I'm glad you're home again" I knew just how he felt 'Cause me and Cracker Jack was friends Through the woods and fields We would often roam about And when we got in trouble We would help each other out I could run almost as fast as Cracker Jack could run We had a lot in common And we had a lot of fun He was always with me When I was growing up We shared each other's good times And we shared each other's love He only lives in memories now But often I think back To the days of childhood The days of Cracker Jack [Chorus] Cracker Jack The best friend that I ever had was Cracker Jack But he was more than that A playmate, a companion He was love and understanding That was Cracker Jack The best friend that I ever had was Cracker Jack But he was more then that Everything a kid could want I had in Cracker Jack
