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
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
Blue chased a possum up a hollow limb
Blue chased a possum up a hollow limb
The possum growled, Blue whined at him
You good dog you
Bye bye blue
You good dog you
He shook the ground in my backyard
We lowered him down with a golden chain
And every link we called his name
You good dog you
Bye bye blue
You good dog you
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
You good dog you
Bye bye blue
You good dog you
