Shorty's Story
Shorty, with her distinctive short legs, found pure joy running free in the mountains she so loved. A smart, devoted, and protective girl, she was always dedicated to Rory, even accompanying him to work as his loyal companion. She will forever be remembered chasing wild game and birds, eternally free in those beloved mountain landscapes.
— Remembered by Lynne
Lyrics
Intro - acoustic guitar, mandolin
Verse 1
The first time that I saw your face, a mountain dog so grand
With those short legs, you'd find your pace, across the rocky land
You chased the wind and smelled the pine, a blur of joyful might
That spirit, Shorty, truly shined, a heartwarming, wondrous sight.
Chorus
Oh, Shorty, you ran wild and free, for fifteen precious years
You gave your heart, devotedly, dispelling all my fears
A loyal friend, a constant light, a bond that can't be broken
Your memory shines ever bright, a promise softly spoken.
Verse 2
A protective mutt, so smart and true, you walked beside my chair
To work with me, a trusted crew, without a single care
You’d guard the door with watchful gaze, a presence strong and deep
Through all our shared and happy days, my secrets you would keep.
Chorus
Oh, Shorty, you ran wild and free, for fifteen precious years
You gave your heart, devotedly, dispelling all my fears
A loyal friend, a constant light, a bond that can't be broken
Your memory shines ever bright, a promise softly spoken.
Verse 3
Through changing seasons, come what may, you walked right by my side
Brightening every single day, with nothing left to hide
Your quiet presence, strong and true, a comfort to my soul
My loyal Shorty, me and you, had made my spirit whole.
Bridge
They called you "smart and devoted girl," and every word was true
You filled my heart, you changed my world, with all the love you knew
Your spirit dances, light and bold, a joy that still remains
A story whispered, to be told, through sunshine and through rains.
Instrumental - mandolin, acoustic guitar
Final Chorus
Oh, Shorty, you ran wild and free, for fifteen precious years
You gave your heart, devotedly, dispelling all my fears
A loyal friend, a constant light, a bond that can't be broken
Your memory shines ever bright, a promise softly spoken.
Outro
Now running free where mountains rise, chasing birds and game
Beneath the vast and open skies, you whisper out my name
Rest peaceful now, my dearest friend, your journey's softly done
Your love will never truly end, beneath the rising sun.
Outro - guitar fade
