Ol' Blue Lyrics

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

I had an old dog and his name was Blue
I 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
