I raised a dog and his name was Blue
And I betcha' five dollars he's a good one too

Come on Blue, you good dog you
Come on Blue, you good dog you

Grabbed my ax, and I tooted my horn
And I went to get a possum in the new ground corn

Come on Blue, oh you can come too
Come on Blue, yes you can come too

Old Blue treed, and I went to see
And there sat a possum in the 'simon tree

Come on Blue, you good dog you
Go on Blue, you good dog you

Blue grinned at me, I grinned at him
I shook out the possum, Blue took him in

Go on Blue, you good dog you
Go on Blue, you good dog you

I baked that possum nice and brown
And I baked those sweet potatoes round and round

Come on Blue, you can have some too
Come on Blue, you can have some too

Well old Blue died, and he died so hard
Till he shook the ground in my back yard

Go on Blue, you good dog you
Go on Blue, you good dog you

Old Blue died and I laid him in the shade
I dug his grave with a silver spade

Go on Blue, you good dog you
Go on Blue, you good dog you

I lowered him down with a golden chain
And link by link slipped through my hand

Go on Blue, you good dog you
Go on Blue, you good dog you

There's just one thing disturbs my mind
Blue's gone to heaven left me behind

Go on Blue, I coming too
Go on Blue, I coming too

And when I get to heaven, first thing I'll do
Grab my horn and call Old Blue

Hello Blue, I got here too
Hello Blue, I got here too

And if I hear that Blue dog bark
I'll know he treed a possum in Noah's ark

Go on Blue, you good dod you
Go on Blue, you good dog you
