Old Dog Blue

Im goin back to where Im come

Im goin back to where Im come

Im goin back to giles county

My wife died and left me a bounty

Way them pretty girls ganged around

Thats the reason why Im goin to giles county

I had an old dog whose name was blue

You know that blue was mighty true

You know blue was a good old dog

Blue treed a possum in a hollow log

You know from that hes a good old dog

Blue treed a possum out on a limb

Blue looked at me and I looked at him

Grabbed that possum and put him in a sack

Do fer me blue til I get back

Here ring yeah ring here

Here ring hey ring here

Whos been here since I been gone

Little bitty girl with the red dress on

Whos been here since I been gone

Little bitty girl with the red dress on

Old blues feet was big and round

Old blues feets was big and round

Never lowed a possum to tech the ground

Me and blue went out on a hunt

Blue treed a possum in a hollow stump

You know that blue was a good old dog

Blue treed a possum in a hollow log

You know from that hes a good old dog

Old blue died and I dug his grave

I dug his grave with a silver spade

I let him down with a golden chain

And every link I called his name

Go on blue you good dog you

Go on blue you good dog you

Blue laid down and died like a man

Blue laid down and died like a man

Now hes treein possums in the promised land

Im goin to tell you this jes to let you know

Old blues gone where the good dogs go

When I hear old blue bark

When I hear old blue bark

Blues treed a possum in noahs ark

Blues treed a possum in noahs ark
