OLD BLUE
Click the banjo to hear the music as you sing.
I had a dog and his name was Blue
I had a dog and his name was Blue
I had a dog and his name was Blue
And I bet ya five dollars he's a good dog too!
Here....Blue! You good dog you.
I shouldered my axe and I tooted my horn
I shouldered my axe and I tooted my horn
I shouldered my axe and I tooted my horn
Gonna catch me a possum in the new groun' corn
Here.... Blue! You good dog you.
We chased that possum up a 'simmon tree
Chased that possum up a 'simmon tree
Chased that possum up a 'simmon tree
Blue looked at the possum, possum hissed at me!
Hey... Blue! Go get 'em you.
Baked that possum good 'n brown
Baked that possum good 'n brown
Baked that possum good 'n brown
An' laid sweet p'taters all around.
Here... Blue! You can have some too.
Old Blue what makes your eyes so red?
Old Blue what makes your eyes so red?
Old Blue what makes your eyes so red?
"I chased that possum 'till I'm almost dead!"
Come on... Blue! You're a good'n you.
Old Blue died and he died so hard
Old Blue died and he died so hard
Old Blue died and he died so hard
He shook the ground in my back yard!
Go on... Blue! You poor dog you.
When I get to heaven first thing I'll do
When I get to heaven first thing I'll do
When I get to heaven first thing I'll do
I'll blow my horn and call for Blue,
Hey... Blue! I finally got here too!
Blue, Blue. You good dog you!
Blue, Blue. You good dog you!
Additional words:
We dug his grave with a silver spade...
And let him down with a silver chain.
'simmon tree.....Persimmon
A new version made by the kids of Crestview School:
I had a lizard and his name is green.....
And I'll bet you my lunch he's an ugly thing
Hey Green You ugly thing!
Old Green tried to travel far....
Stepped in the street and got squished by a car!
Oh Green you ugly thing!
