Come on boy, yeah, come here
Blue, you good dog, you
Had an old dog, honey,
and his name was Blue
I bet you thought I was,
he's a good one too
Now come here
Blue, yeah, you good dog, you
Yeah, come here
Blue, you good dog, you
He shouldered my axe, honey,
and I tooted my horn
Gonna get me a possum
in the new ground corn
Now come here
Blue, you rascal, yeah, Blue
Hey, call you Blue, you old rascal
Old Blue treed, honey, and I went to see
Had him a possum up Cemetery Blue
Got that possum, honey, on a swingin' limb
I shook him and that Blue took him in
Now come on, Blue, you good doggie
Hey, I call you Blue, you old rascal
Baked that possum, honey,
right good and brown
And I'll lay them sweet
taters round and round
Now come here, Blue,
you can have some too
Now come here, Blue,
you can have some too
Blue, what makes your eyes so red?
You'll run them possums
till you're almost dead
When old Blue died, honey, he died so hard
Till he shook the ground in my backyard
Now go on, Blue,
cause I'm comin' too
Yeah, go on, Blue, I'm comin' too
Dug his grave, honey, with a silver spade
And I led him down with a golden chain
Now go on, Blue, go on, I'm comin' too
Go on, Blue, go on, Blue,
I'm comin' too
When I get to heaven, honey,
first thing I'll do
Grab your horn and blow for all blue
Sayin' here, blue, I got it, too
Yeah, yeah, I call you,
blue I got it, too
Yeah, blue, come on, boy
Yeah, blue, come on, boy, yeah
