Well,
I had an old dog and his name was
Blue
Yes,
I had an old dog and his name was
Blue
Well,
I had an old dog and his name was
Blue
Betcha five dollars he's a good dog too
Old
Blue chased a possum up a hollow limb
Blue chased a possum up a hollow limb
Blue chased a possum up a hollow limb
The possum growled
Blue whined at him
Bye bye blue, you good dog you
Bye bye blue, you good dog you
When old
Blue died he died so hard
He shook the ground in my back yard
We lowered him down with a golden chain
And every link we called his name
Bye bye blue, you good dog you
Bye bye blue, you good dog you
My old
Blue he was a good old hound
You could hear him hollerin' miles around
When
I get to
Heaven first thing
I'll do
Is grab my horn and call for
Blue
Bye bye blue, you good dog you
Bye bye blue, you good dog you©
