[Verse 1]
I had an old dog and his name was Blue
And I betcha five dollars he's a good one too
Sayin’, "Come on, Blue, mmm, mmm"

[Verse 2]
Blue chased a 'possum up a 'simmon tree
Blue looks at the ’possum, 'possum looked at me
Sayin', "Go on, Blue, you can have some too"

[Verse 3]
Bake that 'possum, good and brown
Lay them sweet potatoes 'round and 'round
Sayin', "Come on, Blue, you can have some too"

[Verse 4]
Old Blue died and he died so hard
That he jarred the ground in my back yard
Sayin', "Go on, Blue, I’ma comin’ too"

[Verse 5]
I dug his grave with a silver spade
And I let him down with a golden chain
Sayin', "Go on, Blue, I’ma comin' too"

[Verse 6]
When I get to heaven, first thing I'll do
Grab my horn and I'll blow for old Bluе
Sayin’, "Come on, Blue, finally got herе too"
