VERSE 1
Well, I had a little dog n' his name was Blue
Let me tell you what Ole Blue can do
Ole Blue, Ole Blue
VERSE 2
Ever night just about dark
You can hear Old Blue begin to bark
Ole Blue, Ole Blue
VERSE 3
I would light my lantern an' go see
If he have a possum up in a cimmon tree
Ole Blue, Ole Blue
VERSE 4
I would climb that tree an' fetch him down
I would take him home an' bake him brown
Ole Blue, Ole Blue
VERSE 5
Early in one morning Ole Blue took sick
I sent for th doctor right quick
Ole Blue, Ole Blue
VERSE 6
When th doctor came, he came in a run
He said, Ole Blue your huntin's done
Ole Blue, Ole Blue
VERSE 7
When, Ole Blue died he died so hard
Dug little holes all over th yard
Ole Blue, Ole Blue
VERSE 8
They dug his grave with a silver spade
They let 'im down with a golden chain
Ole Blue, Ole Blue
VERSE 9
I clasped my hands across my breast
I prayed I'd meet Ole Blue in th promised land
Ole Blue, Ole Blue
