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 
Betcha five dollars he's a good 'un too 

Here Blue, you good dog you 

Shouldered my gun and i tooted my horn 
Gonna find a possum in the new ground corn 
Old Blue barked and I went to see 
Cornered a possum up in a tree 

Old Blue died and he died so hard 
Shook the ground in my backyard 
Dug his grave with a silver spade 
Lowered him down with links of chain 

Every link I did call his name 
Here Blue, you good dog you 
Here Blue, I'm a-coming there too
