I had a dog and his name was Blue I'll tell you what ol' Blue would do Yeah Blue, yeah Blue, yeah Blue
He'd go out every night about dark And it wouldn't be long 'til you'd hear him bark Yeah Blue, yeah Blue, yeah Blue
And I'd go out to see what he had It'd be a great big opossum up a black-jack tree Yeah Blue, yeah Blue, yeah Blue
I'd get a stick and I'd knock him down I'm gonna bake that opossum good and brown Yeah Blue, yeah Blue, yeah Blue
Ol' Blue he died and he died so hard That he graveled little holes all over the yard Yeah Blue, yeah Blue, yeah Blue
I dug his grave with a silver spade And I lowered him down with a golden chain Yeah Blue, yeah Blue, yeah Blue
And when I get to heaven, I'll tell you what I'll do I'm gonna get my horn and call ol' Blue Yeah Blue, yeah Blue, yeah Blue Yeah Blue, yeah Blue, yeah Blue
