I had a dog and his name was Blue I had a dog, his name was Blue I had a dog and his name was Blue Betcha five dollars he's a good one too Cryin', "Here Blue, you good dog you" Blue chased a possum in a hollowed log Blue chased a possum in a hollowed log Blue chased a possum in a hollowed log And you can tell from that he was a good old dog Cryin', "Here Blue, you good dog you" When old Blue died, he died so hard It shook the ground in my backyard So I dug his grave with a silver spade Lowered him down on a golden chain Every link I did call his name I cried, "Here, Blue, I'm comin' too" Well, I'm gonna tell you just to let you know I'm gonna tell you to let you know I'm gonna tell you just to let you know That old Blue's gone where to good dogs go Cryin', "Here, Blue, I'm a-comin' too"
