Ol' Blue

[Verse 1]

Well, I had an old dog and his name was Blue

Had an old dog and his name was Blue

Had an old dog and his name was Blue

Bet you five dollars he's a good dog, too

[Chorus]

Here, Blue

You good dog, you

[Verse 2]

Well, I shouldered my axe and I tooted my horn

Went to find a possum in the new grown corn

Ol' Blue treed and I went to see

Blue had the possum, up a tall oak tree

Roast possum, nice and brown

Baked potatoes all around

[Chorus]

I'd say here, ol' Blue

You can have some, too

[Verse 3]

Now ol' Blue died and he died so hard

He made a big dent in my backyard

Dug his grave with a silver spade

Lured him down with a link of chain

Every link, I'd call his name

[Chorus]

Here ol', here Blue

You've been a good dog, too

[Verse 4]

Now when I get to heaven first thing I'll do

When I get to heaven first thing I'll do

When I go home to heaven first thing I'll do

Pull out my horn and call ol' Blue

[Chorus]

Well, I say here, ol' dog

You good dog, you

Here, Blue

I'm a-comin' there, too

[Instrumental Break]

[Interlude]

Down, boy

Good dog, you

[Instrumental Outro]
