I had an old dog and his name was Blue I had me a dog and his name was Blue Well I had an old dog and his name was Blue I'll betcha five dollars he's a good one too Singing "Ya-ho Blue, you good dog you" Well, Old Blue's feet was big and round Old Blue's feet was big and round Old Blue's feet was big and round He never 'lowed a possum to touch the ground Well he treed a possum in a hollow log You could tell from that he was a good old dog I said "Ya-ho Blue, you good dog you" I'll take my axe and I'll take my horn And get me a possum in the new-grown corn. Well Old Blue barked and I went to see And he had a possum up in a tree Well the possum crawled out on the limb Blue barked, the possum, possum growled at him Singing "Ya-ho Blue, you good dog you" Well Blue what makes your eyes so red Blue what makes your eyes so red Blue what makes your eyes so red You run that possum till you're almost dead Singing "Ya-ho Blue, you good dog you" When old Blue died he died so hard He shook the ground in my back yard So I dug his grave with a silver spade Land owered him down with a golden chain And every link I did call his name I said "Ya-ho Blue, you good dog you" Now everytime I hear Blue bark Everytime I hear Blue bark Everytime I hear Blue bark He's treeing possums in Noah's ark Singing "Ya-ho Blue, you good dog you" Well I will tell you so you'll know I'm gonna tell you so you'll know I'm gonna tell you so you'll know That Old Blue's gone where the good dogs go Singing "Ya-ho Blue, you good dog you" C'mon Blue
