Grandpa Jones — Old Blue

[Verse 1] Once I had an old blue dog He'd chase him possum ’cross that log He'd chase him down an' run him up a tree Then he’d stand and he'd bark for me G'on Blue, y'rascal you Tree them possum for me and you G'on Blue, y'rascal you Tree them possum for me and you [Verse 2] Chase 'em down, and run 'em up a tree Then e’d stand and e’d bark for me See that possum sittin' on limb Winked at me and I winked at him Come on Blue, that will do There’s enough for me and you Come on Blue, that will do There's enough for me and you [Verse 3] Old Blue foot was a big and round When he put it on the ground Possum better be huntin' in a hole Catch him 'fore his track gets cold G’on Blue, y'rascal you Tree them possum for me and you G'on Blue, y'rascal you Tree them possum for me and you [Verse 4] As I'm singing up my song My old blue dog is dead and gone When he died I laid him in the shade Dug his grave with a silver spade Let him down with a golden chain Every link I called his name Blue! Blue! Blue! Blue! Wish it's me instead of you Blue! Blue! Blue! Blue! Wish it's me instead of you [Verse 5] When I lay my banjo down I'm a going on to heaven gonna get me a crown When I get to heaven, first thing I do Grab me a horn, and I blow for Blue G'on Blue, I'm a-comin' too There's room enough for me and you G'on Blue, I'm a-comin' too There's room enough for me and you
