Hankie's Story
Hankie, a truly beautiful dog, was known for his devoted eyes that followed every move, even when he proudly dragged carcasses back from the paddock. Each morning, he would joyfully roll on the living room mat, and in the evenings, his soft eyes would peek open from his bed to check you were still there, always patiently awaiting his morning tea treat. Now, he's running free, stopping constantly to sniff every intriguing scent, the very best boy, Hankie Poo.

Lyrics
Intro - acoustic guitar, harmonica
Verse 1
The first time I saw you, a beautiful sight
Your eyes followed me around, a comforting light
A loyal companion, right from the start
You showed me the depths of your wild, gentle heart
From paddock you'd bring them, the bones you had found
Gnawing with joy, without making a sound
My beautiful Hankie, so strong and so true
Every moment I cherished, spent watching you
Chorus
Oh, Hankie, Hankie Poo, my loyal friend
Ten years beside me, 'til the very end
You filled up my life with a love so pure
A bond like ours will forever endure
Verse 2
Each morning you'd wake, with a happy new day
To the living room mat, you would bound and you'd play
You'd roll and you'd tumble, a joyful display
Then in your soft bed, where at evening you'd lay
Just a flick of your eye, a quick gentle peek
To make sure I was close, a comfort you'd seek
At morning tea time, you'd patiently wait
For your special small treat, sealed by loving fate
Chorus
Oh, Hankie, Hankie Poo, my loyal friend
Ten years beside me, 'til the very end
You filled up my life with a love so pure
A bond like ours will forever endure
Bridge
The last words I whispered, soft and so true
"I love you Hankie Poo," I whispered to you
"You're my best boy," my dearest, forever you'll be
A part of my soul, running wild and free
Harmonica Solo
Final Chorus
Oh, Hankie, Hankie Poo, my loyal friend
Ten years beside me, 'til the very end
You filled up my life with a love so pure
A bond like ours will forever endure
Outro
Now you're running free, where the open fields call
Stopping to sniff, discovering it all
No pain, no sorrow, just joy in your stride
Forever my Hankie, deep down inside
Running free, Hankie...
Outro - guitar fade
