#14 Jake the Horse – Folk Rock

[Verse]

Down at Pantak Kennel where the pine trees sway,

Lives a big ol’ gentle horse named Jake.

He’s got a stall in the corner of the barn,

Where the dogs all bark from dusk till dawn.

Fifty hounds and hounds-to-be,

Yippin’, playin’, wild and free.

But Jake just stands there calm and tall,

Watchin’ over one and all.

[Chorus]

Oh, Jake the horse, with eyes so kind,

Guarding tails and waggin’ behinds.

He loves those puppies, big and small,

But the Rottweiler trio steal his heart most of all.

Max, Small, and Gunther, tumble and roll,

Little balls of joy that soothe his soul.

Jake lives for the laughter, the innocent play,

Down at Pantak Kennel every day.

[Verse]

Morning sun climbs over the roof so red,

Jake nickers softly as the pups are fed.

They stumble out on stubby legs,

Chasin’ butterflies and tuggin’ rags.

Max leads the charge with a mighty bark,

Small sneaks behind for a playful lark.

Gunther brings the rear with a goofy grin,

Trippin’ over ears that are too big for him.

[Chorus]

Oh, Jake the horse, with eyes so kind,

Guarding tails and waggin’ behinds.

He loves those puppies, big and small,

But the Rottweiler trio steal his heart most of all.

Max, Small, and Gunther, tumble and roll,

Little balls of joy that soothe his soul.

Jake lives for the laughter, the innocent play,

Down at Pantak Kennel every day.

Bridge]

When the big dogs wrestle and the night grows deep,

Jake stands like a sentinel while the puppies sleep.

He lowers his head to nudge a dreamin’ nose,

Listens to the tiny snores in neat little rows.

No ribbons or races, no saddle or rein,

Just the purest kind of love without any chain.

In a world that’s rushin’ and full of noise,

Jake found heaven in puppy joys.

[Verse]

Years may silver his mane one day,

But the spark in his eyes will never fade away.

As long as there’s a litter bouncin’ ‘round the hay,

Jake will be there come what may.

He’ll watch Max grow strong and brave,

Small stay clever in every game he plays.

Gunther will turn heads with that gentle might,

And Jake will smile through the barn each night.

[Chorus]

Oh, Jake the horse, with heart so wide,

Pantak’s quiet hero standin’ by their side.

He loves those puppies, through and through,

But Max, Small, and Gunther—those three will always do.

Tumblin’, lovin’, growin’ so fast,

Moments Jake wishes could forever last.

He lives for the laughter, the innocent play,

Down at Pantak Kennel—Jake’s home always.

Yeah, Jake the horse…

He’s happy just watchin’ them play.
