| Well, I had an old dog and his name was Blue, |
| Had an old dog and his name was Blue. |
| Had an old dog and his name was Blue… |
| Betcha five dollars he’s a good dog too… |
| «Here old Blue» |
| «Good dog you» |
| Well, I shouldered my axe and I tooted my horn, |
| Went to find 'possum in the new-grown corn. |
| Old Blue treed and I went to see, |
| Blue had 'possum up a tall oak tree. |
| Mmm, boy I roast’d 'possum, nice and brown, |
| Sweet po-ta-toes, n' all a-round… |
| And to say «Here old Blue (here-boy) |
| You can have some too» |
| Now, Old Blue died and he died so hard, |
| Made a big dent in my back-yard. |
| Dug his grave with a silver spade, |
| Lowered him down with a link of chain. |
| Ev-er-y link I did call his name… |
| Singing «Here…old…Blue-ue… |
| «Good dog you» |
| Now, when I get to heaven, first thing I’ll do. |
| When I get to heaven, first thing 'awm do. |
| When I get to heaven first thing I’ll do, |
| Pull out my horn and call old Blue… |
| I’ll say, «Here Old Blue come-on dog» |
| «Good dog you.» |
| I’ll say, «Here Blue-e» |
| «I'm a coming there too» |
| «Down boy… good dog» |
