Old Dog Blue

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
Betchya five dollars he’s a good dog too

Cryin’ here, Blue
You good dog, you

Blue chased a possum up a hollow limb
Blue chased a possum up a hollow limb
Blue chased a possum up a hollow limb
Blue growled at the possum, whined at him

Cryin’ here, Blue
You good dog, you
Here, old Blue
You good dog, you

Yeah my old Blue was a good old hound
You could hear him buglin’ miles around
You could hear him callin’ loud and clear
Sounds like Blue done treed a bear

Cryin’ here, Blue
You good dog, you

Old blue died and he died so hard
Shook the ground in my backyard
When I get to heaven first thing I’ll do
Grab my horn and call for Blue

Cryin’ here, Blue
You good dog, you
Here, old Blue
You good dog, you
