Police Dog Blues
by Hugh Laurie
All my life I've been a traveling man
Said, all my life I've been a traveling man
Staying alone and doing the best I can
I shipped my trunks down to Tennessee
I shipped my trunks down to Tennessee
Hard to tell about a man like me
I met a gal I couldn't get her off my mind
Well, I met a gal I couldn't get her off my mind
She passed me up said she didn't like my kind
I'm afraid to bark around her house at night
I'm afraid to bark around her house at night
Got a police dog that's craving for a fight
His name is Rambler and when he gets the chance
His name is Rambler and when he gets the chance
He leaves his mark on everybody's pants
I guess I'll travel, now I guess I'll let her be
I guess I'll travel, now I guess I'll let her be
Before she sicks that police dog on me

The Fight Queen
This is Hugh laurie, doing Blues music. It has nothing to do with house at all?
K GB
The groove isn't the same as the original. It lacks that ragtime feeling and sounds weaker to me.
Sebastian Sullivan
Its fabulous.
Denis Desfontaines
I hear that Dr. House like Blind Blake. He is a man of taste ;)
