Old Dog Blue
TraditionalAdditional Music and Lyrics by Lacy J. Dalton
Had an old doggie and I called him BlueListen, I'm gonna' tell you what Blue could do
Well I grabbed my gun and I blowed my hornI am goin' to catch a possum in the new ground corn
Old Blue's got a possum up in a treeWell I look up at him, and he looks at me
Well I grabbed my gun and I shot him downAnd Old Blue picks up possum and he brings him around
Now Old Blue he's a fine old doggieAnd I'm proud as a peacock he belonged to me
But when Old Blue died he died so old, so hardI dug him a cold grave in my door yard
Well I dug Blue's grave with a silver spadeAnd I lowered Old Blue down on a link of chain
Now when I get to heaven first thing I'll doGonna' grab my old bugle and call up Blue
Come on Blue, Come on boy... I'm home
