 (G major) I  had a little hound
and his name was Blue
Wanna tell you what my
little hound could do
Go on Blue, I'm a -comin' too
Go on Blue, I'm a -comin' too
I picked up my axe and I tooted my horn
Wanna find me a possum
in the new -ground corn
When old Blue barked, I went to see
Old Blue's got a possum
in a cinnamon tree
Go on, Blue, I'm comin' too
Go on, Blue, I'm a -comin' too
