Well I had a dog
Verse 1
D
and his name was Blue
I had a dog and his name was Blue
Yes, I had a dog and his name was Blue,
I bet you five dollars he's
a good 'un too
Yeah, old Blue, you could dog you
Well, I shouldered my axe and
I tooted my horn,
gonna catch me a possum
in the new ground corn
Yeah, old Blue, you could come too
Well, Blue's feet was big and round
He never allowed a possum
to touch the ground
Yeah, old Blue, you're a good doggie
Well, old Blue treated when to see
A
D
There was a possum in a cement tree
Well, a possum come down on
a swingin' limb
Blue barked at the possum,
A
possum growled
D
Blue grinned at me, smiled at him, I shook him out,
Blue took him in
Yah -oh, Blue, you good doggie
Well, I baked that possum good and brown
And I laid them sweet taters
round and round
Yah -oh, Blue, you can have some too
Blue, I didn't make your eyes
so red
You've run them possums
till they're almost dead
Yeah, old Blue, you good dog, you
When old Blue died, he died so hard
He shook the ground in my backyard
When old Blue died, I laid him in the shade
I dug his grave with a silver spade
Lowered him down with
a golden chain,
and every link I called his name
Yah -oh, Blue, you good doggie
Well, I'm gonna tell you so you'll know
That old Blue's gone where
the good dogs go
But there's just one
thing that bothers my mind
Old Blue went to heaven, left me behind
G
D
Yeah, oh Blue, you good doggie. you
