Old Blue Lyrics

Well I had an old dog and his name was Blue
Yes I had me an old dog and his name was Blue
Well I had an old dog and his name was Blue
Bet you 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 backyard
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 was a good old hound
You could hear him hollerin' miles around
When I get to heaven, first thing I'll do
Is grab the horn and call him Blue

Bye bye blue
You good dog you
Bye bye blue
You good dog you
