Average song rating Some speech and tapping before Paul starts singing. I really like this song, despite its silly lyrics. One of the few songs with harmonies by Linda that I like. I prefer the sound of Paul's voice in the first verse compared with the second one, in which a lot of reverb is added. Drums added here too. Denny isn't doing too much and that's what I like about his drumming. Bass sounds great, just playing the simple usefull notes. Another change of style in the sound of Paul's voice in the third verse. I still prefer the first style used tho, which returns in the 'fly flies in' part. The rhythm guitar overall is simply great, sounding great as well. It sounds like Paul is hestating to go on with the song at 1.59. Maybe it sounds like that because of the reverb. A change of rhythm with bells at 2.14 to work towards the end of the song. Well done. Bobber April 11, 2012
Average song rating Seems like every song John, George, Paul, and Ringo wrote in the early 1970's came under scrutiny for bearing some (nasty) message to the others. Many were not (I don't believe John wrote "Crippled Inside" with Paul in mind at all), but I do believe this song does, although I'll be dogged (pun intended) if I know what Paul is trying to say. Anyway, it's a great listen. Bruce Beatlefan April 29, 2006

Lyrics

Well when I walk, when I walk
On my horse upon the hill (when I walk the horse upon a hill)
Well when I walk, walk walk walk
On my horse upon the hill (when I walk the horse upon a hill)
And I lay me down
Will my lover love me still

A dog is here, (a dog is here), a dog is there (a dog is there)
My dog he got three leg
But he can't run

Well when I thought, well I thought
When I thought you was my friend (when I thought I could call you my friend)
When I thought, when I thought
When I thought you was my friend (when I thought I could call you my friend)
But you laid me down, put my heart around the bend

A fly flies in (a fly flies in), a fly flies out (a fly flies out)
Most flies they got three leg, but mine got one.

Well when I fly when I fly when I fly,when I fly above the cloud
(when I fly above the man in the crowd)
Well when I fly when I fly when I fly,when I fly above the crowd
(when I fly above the man in the 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)

A dog is here, (a dog is here), a dog is there (a dog is there)
My dog he got three leg
But he can't run

My dog he got three leg
Your dog he got none

My dog he got three leg
Your dog he got none

My dog he got three leg
Your dog he got none
