Old Dog Blue

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Had an old doggie and I called him Blue Listen, I'm gonna tell you what Blue could do Well I grabbed my gun and I blowed my horn I am going to catch a possum in the new ground corn [Verse 2] Blue's got a possum up in a tree Well, I look up at him, and he looks at me Well, I grabbed my gun and I shot him down, hey-yeah And old Blue picks up possum and he brings him around Now old Blue he's a fine old doggie And I'm proud as a peacock he belonged to me [Verse 3] But when old Blue died he died so old, so hard I dug him a cold grave in my door yard When I dug Blue's grave with a silver spade And then I lowered old Blue down on a link of chain [Verse 4] Now when I get to heaven first thing I'll do Gonna grab my old bugle and call up Blue Here Blue, *whistling*, come on boy, I'm home
