[Verse 1]
Well, when I walk, when I walk
Walk my horse up on the hill (When I walk my horse upon a hill)
Well, when I walk, walk, walk, walk
Walk my horse up on the hill (When I walk my horse upon a hill)
When I lay me down
Will my lover love me still?

[Chorus 1]
A dog is here (A dog is here)
A dog is there (A dog is there)
My dog, he got three legs
But he can't run

[Verse 2]
Well, when I thought, well, I thought
When I thought you was my friend
(When I thought that I could call you my friend)
When I thought, well, I thought
When I thought you was my friend
(When I thought that I could call you my friend)
But you let me down (hoo!)
Put my heart around the bend

[Chorus 2]
A fly flies in (A fly flies in)
A fly flies out (A fly flies out)
Most flies they got three legs
But mine got one

[Verse 3]
Well, when I fly, when I fly, when I fly
When I fly above the clouds
(When I fly above the maddening crowd)
Oh, when I fly, when I fly, when I fly
When I fly above the clouds
(When I fly above the maddening crowd)
You can knock me down with a feather, yes, you could
But you know it's not allowed (But you know it's not allowed)

[Chorus 1]
A dog is here (A dog is here)
A dog is there (A dog is there)
My dog, he got three legs
But he can't run

[Outro]
My dog he got three legs
Your dog he got none
My dog he got three legs
Your dog he got none
My dog he got three legs
Your dog he got none

Sir James Paul McCartney, born June 18, 1942, is the single most successful music artist of all time. He found worldwide fame as the bass player and vocalist for The Beatles, and has continued to enjoy commercial success long after the band’s breakup.

His post-Beatles projects—the most lucrative of which was the band Wings, alongside then-wife Linda Eastman—have been met with mixed critical reception but he still retains a substantial public following, regularly conducting worldwide arena tours well into his later years.

His album sales with The Beatles, Wings and solo endeavours combined come to over 100 million, and his net worth was estimated to be approximately $1.2 billion circa 2018. He was knighted in 1997 and is known for his activism.
