You can hear the song here for free, but it's even better if you make a small donation, download it, and play it wherever you go. The song samples on bandcamp are low-bitrate mp3s, but by donating you can download them in much higher audio quality, even lossless.
lyrics
red dog howlin’ in the sun
heard him cry, callin’ for someone
mud flats boilin' in the heat
nothin’ to drink, not a bite for him to eat
and he howled
and he howled
about to break down
heard him moan, hundred yards away
saw the bones pokin' through the clay
and he howled
and he howled
and he howled
and he howled
about to break down
heard him wail, middle of the night
somebody gone, taken from his sight
so let him cry, cry with all his might
some things will never be made right
