OLD BLUE (Ian & Sylvia version)

I had an old dog and his name was Blue
Bettin' your life he's a rounder too
Blue
Oh Blue

Every night just about good dark,
Old Blue went out and began to bark
Blue
Oh Blue

Everything was just in a rush,
Old Blue tree'd a possum up the white oak bush
Blue
Oh Blue

He chased him out on the end of a limb.
And Old Blue sat down and he talked to him.
Blue
Oh Blue

Blue got sick, sick and very sick.
We called for the doctor to come right quick
Blue
Oh Blue

Doctor come, and he come in a run.
He says, "Old Blue, your huntin's done."
Blue
Oh Blue

Old Blue died and he died mighty hard.
He dug little holes all around the yard
Blue
Oh Blue

When I get to heaven, I know what I'll do
I'll take my horn, and I'll blow for Blue
Blue
Oh Blue

Blue
Oh Blue
