Old BlueWell, 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... "Here old Blue" "Good dog you" Well, I shouldered my axe and I tooted my horn, Went to find 'possum in the new-grown corn. Old Blue treed and I went to see, Blue had 'possum up a tall oak tree. Mmm, boy I roast'd 'possum, nice and brown, Sweet po-ta-toes, n' all a-round... And to say "Here old Blue (here-boy) You can have some too" Now, Old Blue died and he died so hard, Made a big dent in my back-yard. Dug his grave with a silver spade, Lowered him down with a link of chain. Ev-er-y link I did call his name... Singing: Here old...Blue-ue... "Good dog you" Now, when I get to heaven, first thing I'll do. When I get to heaven, first thing 'awm do. When I get to heaven first thing I'll do, Pull out my horn and call old Blue... I'll say, "Here Old Blue come-on dog" "Good dog you." I'll say, "Here Blue-e" "I'm a coming there too" "Down boy... good dog" |
