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…
Betcha five dollars he's a good dog too…
Callin' Blue…
Blue's a good dog, you
Blue treed a possum in a hollow log
Blue treed a possum in a hollow log
Blue treed a possum in a hollow log
And you could tell from that he's a good ol' dog
Boy I roasted that possum, nice and brown,
Roasted that possum, nice and brown,
Roasted that possum, nice and brown,
Sweet potatoes, n' all around
Callin' here Blue …
You can have some too
Now, Old Blue died and he died so hard,
He shook the ground in my back yard.
So I dug his grave with a silver spade,
Lowered him down on a golden chain.
Every link I did call his name…
Singing here‚ old Blue…
You're a good dog you
Now, when I get to heaven, first thing I'll do.
When I get to heaven, first thing I'll do.
When I get to heaven first thing I'll do,
Pull out my horn and call old Blue…
Callin' here Blue…
Well I'm gonna tell you so you'll know
I'm gonna tell you so you'll know
I'm gonna tell you so you'll know
Old Blue's gone where the good dogs go.
Cryin' here….Blue…..
I'm a coming there too
