Grandpa Jones — Old Blue 1954 single version

Once I had an old blue dog And ate them 'possums, walked that log [?] Ran them 'possums up that tree Then sit down, and he'd bark for me Go on Blue, you rascal you Tree them 'possums for me and you Go on Blue, you rascal you Tree them 'possums for me and you Old Blue's foot was-a big and round When he put it on the ground 'Possum better be a-huntin' a hole Catch him 'fore his track gets cold Go on Blue, you rascal you Tree them 'possums for me and you Go on Blue, you rascal you Tree them 'possums for me and you Run them 'possums up that tree Then set down and bark for me See that 'possum sittin' on limb Winked at me and I winked at him Come on Blue, that will do Here's еnough for me and you Come on Blue, that will do Hеre's enough for me and you Take them home and a-hang them in a row Lay 'em down and scrape them off Put some sweet taters in that pan Best ol' eatin' in that land Come on Blue, and get some too Here's enough for me and you Come on Blue, and get some too Here's enough for me and you As I'm singin' of my song My old blue dog is dead and gone I laid him in the quiet, cool shade And 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 is me instead of you Blue, Blue, Blue, Blue Wish it is me instead of you Now, when I lay my banjo down I'm goin' on to Heaven to get me a crown When I get to Heaven, the first thing I'll do I'll get me a horn, and I'll blow for Blue Go on Blue, you rascal you Tree them 'possums for me and you Go on Blue, you're comin' too There's room enough for me and you
