Old Blue lyrics

I had an old dog, and his name was Blue Bet your life he was a good dog too Blue chased a possum up a hollow limb Possum won, got the best of him Bye-bye Blue You good dog, you Bye-bye Blue You good dog, you Blue he died, and he died so hard He shook the ground in my backyard We lowered him down with a golden chain Every link we'd call his name Bye-bye Blue You good dog, you Bye-bye Blue You good dog, you My old Blue was a good old hound You could hear him holler for miles around When I get to heaven, first thing I'll do I'll grab my horn and call Old Blue Bye-bye Blue You good dog, you Bye-bye Blue You good dog, you Bye-bye Blue You good dog, you Bye-bye Blue You good dog, you Bye-bye Blue
