Old Blue

[Verse 1]

Had a dog and his name was Blue

Had a dog and his name was Blue

Had a dog and his name was Blue

Betcha five dollars he's a good 'un too

[Refrain]

Here, Blue

You good dog, you

[Verse 2]

Shouldered my gun and I tooted my horn

Gonna find a possum in the new-grown corn

Old Blue barked and I went to see

Hunted a possum up in a tree

[Refrain]

Come on, Blue

You good dog, you

[Verse 3]

Old Blue died and he died so hard

Shook the ground in my backyard

Dug him a grave with a silver spade

Lowered him down with links of chain

Every link I did call his name

[Refrain]

Here, Blue

You good dog, you

Here, Blue

I'm a comin' there too
