Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Well, I had an old dog, and his name was Blue
Yes, I had 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
[Verse 2]
Old Blue chased a possum up a holler limb
Blue chased a possum up a holler limb
Blue chased a possum up a holler limb
The possum growled, Blue whined at him
[Verse 3]
Bye-bye, Blue
You good dog, you
Bye-bye, Blue
You good dog, you
[Verse 4]
When old Blue died, he died so hard
Shook the ground in my backyard
We lowered him down with a golden chain
And every link we called his name
[Verse 5]
Bye-bye, Blue
You good dog, you
Bye-bye, Blue
You good dog, you
[Verse 6]
My old Blue, he was a good old hound
You'd hear him hollerin' miles around
When I get to Heaven first thing I'll do
Is grab my horn and call for Blue
[Verse 7]
Bye-bye, Blue
You good dog, you
Bye-bye, Blue
You good dog, you
