Old Blue Lyrics & Chords By Shawn Phillips

Lomax-Roberts

Well, I had an old dog and his name was Blue
Betcha five dollars he’s a good dog too
Well, I had an old dog and his name was Blue
Betcha five dollars he’s a good dog too
I’m cryin’ yah there Blue
Good dog, you
Well, I chased that ‘possom up a ‘simmon tree
Blue looked at ‘possom, ‘possom looked at me
Said, I chased that ‘possom up a ‘simmon tree
Blue looked at ‘possom, ‘possom looked at me
I’m cryin’ yah there Blue
Good dog, you
Well, I baked that ‘possom good and brown
Served sweet taters all around
Said, I baked that ‘possom good and brown
Served sweet taters all around
I’m cryin’ yah there Blue
Good dog, you
Old Blue died and he died so hard
Shook the ground in my back yard
Old Blue died and he died so hard
Shook the ground in my back yard
Well, I dug his grave with a silver spade
Let him down with a golden chain
I dug his grave with a silver spade
Let him down with a golden chain
Cryin’ yah there Blue
Good dog, you
Cryin’ yah there Blue
Good dog, you
When I get to Heaven first thing I’ll do
Grab my horn and blow for Blue
When I get to Heaven first thing I’ll do
Grab my horn and blow for Blue
I’m cryin’ yah there Blue
Good dog, you
