I raised a dog, and his name was Blue,
And I bet you five dollars
Come on, Blue, you good dog, you.
Come on, Blue, you good dog,
Grabbed my axe, and I tooted my horn,
And I went to get a possum
Come on, Blue, yes, you can come, too.
Old Blue treed, and I went to see,
Come on, Blue, you good dog, you,
Go on, Blue, you good dog, you.
Blue grinned at me, I grinned at him,
Go on, Blue, you good dog, you,
Go on, Blue, you good dog, you.
Baked that possum nice and brown,
And I laid them sweet potatoes
Come on, Blue, you can have some,
Well old Blue died, and he died so hard,
Till he shook the ground in
Go on, Blue, you good dog, you.
Go on, Blue, you good dog, you.
Old Blue died, and I laid him in the shade.
I dug his grave with a silver spade.
Go on, Blue, you good dog, you.
Go on, Blue, you good dog, you.
Lowered him down with a golden chain,
Go on, Blue, you good dog, you.
Go on, Blue, you good dog, you.
There's just one thing disturbs my mind,
Old Blue's gone to heaven,
Go on, Blue, I'm coming too,
Go on, Blue, I'm coming too.
And when I get to heaven,
I'll grab my horn and call Old Blue,
Hello, Blue, I got here too,
Hello, Blue, I got here too.
And if I hear that blue dog bark,
Go on, blue, you good dog, you.
Go on, blue, you good dog, you.
