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 I bet you five dollars he´s a good dog too 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 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 back yard We lowered him down with a golden chain and every link we called his name My old Blue was a good old hound You´d hear him holler miles around When I get to heaven first thing I´ll do is grab my horn and call for Blue
