The Hound Domestic dog (or Dawg) Song is in the DT. From the Folk Songs Of North America by A Lomax "Some say The Hound Dawg Song, a favourite Ozark Mt. song, orignated before the ceremonious was, when a country male child named Zeke Parish had a tussel with a townie who had kicked his dog. Old Aaron Weatherman, Swan Mail service Function, Taney County, Missouri, concurs- 'I was at that place & knowed Zeke & his paw & the hound too'. Some of his neighbors express joy at ol Zeke & say that the vocal is a recently composed piece, while others swear that Daniel Boone brought the song to Missouri. It became universally popular at the time when Arkansas'a favourite son (Bill Clinton ?) Champ Clark, who was a candidate for the Five.P. of the U.s.a., used it as a campain song. Since that time civic groups & clubs in both Arkansas & Missouri have claimed it for their state. The tune is an old fiddlers' favourite, Sandy Country or Sally Anne". Barry

It was recorded by Gid Tanner and the Skillet Lickers as Y'all Gotta Quit Kicking My Dawg Effectually , probably in the tardily 20s, and is available on Rounder 1023, Kickapoo Medicine Show (cassette only~~unfortunately, though if you ask, Rounder might be able to dig up an lp somewhere). This would mean that it was known in Northward Georgia likewise.

I always knew information technology every bit:

Fifty-fifty though he is a hound
They gotta finish kickin' my dog effectually
I used to sing it to my erstwhile dog, who because she was a chip of a thief when information technology came to food had a few boots in the butt in her time. I always thought it was just a bit of childhood doggerel (no pun) and had no idea that information technology was so widespread.

As Dale pointed out in a higher place, the first recorded version of the song was by Gid Tanner and His Skillet Lickers - 4 January 1926 (Co 15084). Charles Wolfe and Mark Wilson wrote the following informative note to the song in the liner notes to Gid Tanner and His Skillet Lickers 'The Kickapoo Medicine Show' Rounder LP 1023:
"This pleasant urban reflection of rurality was copyrighted in 1912 by Webb Yard. Oungst and Cy Perkins, a pseudonym for Mrs John Stark, wife of the famous pioneer publisher of ragtime. Its melody derives from the 'Sally Ann' family of tunes merely the lyrics reflect the practice of an experienced literary manus, for all its unwashed pretentions. The populist Missouri Democrat, Gnaw Clark, employed this ditty equally his theme that year in his unsuccessful bid for the presidential nomination confronting Woodrow Wilson. The vocal became nationally known through this exposure and has been seriously proposed equally the country song of Missouri. It may exist doubted, however, whether the Skillet Lickers had Champ Clark in heed when they recorded it in 1926 …"
The Skillet Lickers (or, more specifically, their lead vocalist, Riley Puckett) sang (pretty shut to the version posted above by Kendall):
Me and quondam Lem Briggs and old Neb Brownish
Took a load of corn to town
Old Jim dog, the on'ery pup
He just naturally followed us upwards
Chorus:
Every time I come up to town
The boys go to kicking my domestic dog around
Makes no difference if he'south a hound
Ya gotta quit kicking my canis familiaris around
As we driv' by the country shop
A passel of yaps came out the door
Jim he scooted backside a box
Showered him with sticks and rocks
They tied a tin to his tail
And run him by the county jail
That just naturally makes me sore
Neb he cussed and Lem he swore
Most probably because of his notoriously poor retention, Riley omitted to sing the expected finale:
Me and Lem Briggs and old Bill Brown
Lost no time a-getting down
We whupped them fellers to the footing
For kickin' my old domestic dog, Jim, effectually
Jim seed his duty in that location and and then
He sure let into those gentlemen
He certain messed up that townhouse square
With rags and meat and hide and hair

Well, here'southward one more than. I recently ran beyond the sail music and some additional information for THEY GOTTA QUIT KICKIN' MY DAWG AROUN'. The info is not exactly as Stewie quotes from Charles Wolfe, simply I will give it in its entirety, without any comment equally to authenticity. In that location is one obvious error in calling the author Mrs. William Stark rather than Mrs. John Stark. I did not find an writer to attribute it to.
- "In 1912, Mrs. William Stark (of Stark Publishing) wrote the song for employ in the campaign of Missouri's favorite son, Champ Clark, (Speaker of the Business firm) for the presidential campaign. Clark was doing quite well before the Republican convention. Mrs. Stark, afraid of rejection because of being written by a woman, used the pseudonyms indicated above. The song made such an immediate hit that Witmark offered Stark ten thousand dollars for it and the offer was accepted. Unfortunately, not only did Clark's boom collapse on the convention floor, just THEY GOTTA QUIT KICKIN' MY DAWG Around fell flat besides. Furthermore, the payments were non met and resulted in a suit filed by Stark ending with the settlement in total. On a more positive 'note' (pun intended) however, the 2nd Missouri Infantry chose it every bit their marching song and adapted the Missouri Hound dawg equally their logo and emblem."

Byron Harlan recorded this song for various labels and media in the early 20th century. The first media was on two infinitesimal cylinder records. These limited the verses to the vocal. Later four minute cylinders and 78 RPM disc records allowed more verses. The first recording was in 1912. Link to SB cylinder preservation of this vocal.

I grew up hearing this song all the fourth dimension. We are the Aurora Houn Dawgs and this is our fight song. My loftier school ring director told us some of the history twenty-some years ago and since then I've been even more protective of our Dawg, but I had no thought there were so many verses. I thought it was just a piffling ditty the Infantry fellas came upwards with when they found their dog! I saw a couple of references to Springfield and Branson, so some of you have been within xxx or forty miles of us, just even if you'd heard someone mention the AHS Houn Dawgs, yous wouldn't have any reason to make the connection without being at one of our games where the fight song was played.

As soon every bit he learned his mode around
What'south that son what have yous got

So I took Jake out and schooled him hard,
but he chased Ma's ducks all around the yard
He chased her chickens and a rabbit and a deer
and he chewed on the neighbor's milking cows ear
Nosotros took Jake to run a racoon,
but he lead the states directly to the boondocks saloon
While the Sheriff sat there in tremblin' fear
Jake chewed his star and he drank his beer
Ooooh
Every fourth dimension I become to town
The boys keep kickin' my dog around
Makes no difference if he is a hound
You gotta quit kickin' my dog around
So Jake I said your my all-time friend
We'll stick together till the end
When nether the window where Ma had sat
Nosotros spotted the practice of a mountain cat
Jake took off to doggy scare
He bellered that cat from here to in that location
When all of them fellows showed upwardly from town
To hear that true cat and that crazy hound
My Jake he had that critter treed
The boys all looked and smiled at me
Away upward high on the limb he sabbatum
My mother's precious calico cat
Ooooooh
Every fourth dimension I go to boondocks
The boys proceed kickin' my domestic dog around
Makes no departure if he is a hound
You gotta quit kickin' my canis familiaris around (Come on y'all guys)
Every time I go to boondocks
The boys continue kickin' my dog around
Makes no departure if he is a hound
You gotta finish kickin' my dog around (Y'all hear what I tell ya)
Every time I become to boondocks
The boys keep kickin' my domestic dog around
Makes no difference if he is a hound
You gotta stop kickin' my canis familiaris effectually
*Though in that location are other definitions for this word, the definition that makes sense in this context is this:
The mythological gwat is a big hirsuite red haired rodent that slinks backside pubs and is oftentimes associated with hay bales. By and large active towards sunset, these highly polygynous creatures have an eary call that nearly closely resembles a gurgling pump.

Am I dreaming or did the Byrds exercise this song as well? Of course if it was on the "Golden Ring" tape I heard it and still have it, but I distinctly call up it being (briefly) on meridian 40 radio when the Byrds were big.

Nosotros had this song on a 78 RPM record in the belatedly 1920s. Don't call up who performed it or what label the record was, or what was on the other side. But that particular recording was mostly instrumental. Peculiarly fiddle and Jew's harp. I call back the only lyrics sung on that recording were: "Every fourth dimension I come to town, you boys go to kickin' my canis familiaris aroun'. It makes no diff'rence if he is a houn'. Yous gotta quit kickin' my dog aroun'". Equally I recall, that was sung twice, with instrumental in between, before, and subsequently. It'southward interesting to learn from the commenters here that there were a lot of other lyrics and a real story behind information technology. It wasn't one of my favorite records, but I played it a lot because the fiddle and Jew's harp music were pretty unique.
