Ol' Blue

Traditional

I had an old dog and his name was Blue,

Betcha five dollars he's a good dog too.

Every night just about good dark,

Blue goes out and begins to bark

Here old Blue, you're a good dog you.

Here old Blue, you're a good dog you.

Blue chased a possum up a 'simmon tree,

Barked at the possum and grinned at me.

Chased that possum way out on a limb,

Blue sat down and he talked to him

Here old Blue, you're a good dog you.

Here old Blue, you're a good dog you.

Blue got sick, he got mighty sick,

Called for the doctor to come right quick.

The4 doctor come and he come in a run,

But he said old Blue your huntin's done.

Here old Blue, you're a good dog you.

Here old Blue, you're a good dog you.

Old Blue died and he died so hard,

He shook the ground in my back yard.

I dug his grave with a silver spade,

And lowered him down with a length of chain.

Here old Blue, you're a good dog you.

Here old Blue, you're a good dog you.

There's just one thing that troubles my mind,

Blue went to heaven and left me behind.

When I get to heaven, first thing I'll do,

Is get my horn and call for Blue.

Here old Blue, you're a good dog you.

Here old Blue, you're a good dog you.
