Lyrics Old Blue - Joan Baez

Had a dog and his name was Blue
Had a dog and his name was Blue
Had a dog and his name was Blue
Betcha five dollars he's a good one too
"Here, Blue"
"You good dog, you"

Shouldered my gun and I tooted my horn
Gonna find a possum in the new-grown corn
Old Blue barked and I went to see
Cornered a possum up in a tree
"Come on, Blue"
"You good dog, you"

Old Blue died and he died so hard
Shook the ground in my backyard
I dug him a 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-comin' there too"
