“OLD BLUE (Anonymous) Had an old dog and his name is Blue. Betcha five dollars he’s a good’n too. Here Blue, you good dog you. Showed him the gun and I tooted my horn, Gone to find a possum in the new-ground corn. Old Blue barked and I went to see, Cornered a possum up in a tree. Come on Blue, you good dog you. Old Blue died and he died so hard, Shook the ground in my backyard. Dug him a grave with a silver spade, Lowered him down with a golden chain. Every link I did call his name. Here Blue, you good dog you. Here Blue, I’m coming there too.” — Joseph Duemer
OLD BLUE (Anonymous)
Had an old dog and his name is Blue.
Betcha five dollars he’s a good’n too.
Here Blue, you good dog you.
Showed him the gun and I tooted my horn,
Gone to find a possum in the new-ground corn.
Old Blue barked and I went to see,
Cornered a possum up in a tree.
Come on Blue, you good dog you.
Old Blue died and he died so hard,
Shook the ground in my backyard.
Dug him a grave with a silver spade,
Lowered him down with a golden chain.
Every link I did call his name.
Here Blue, you good dog you.
Here Blue, I’m coming there too.
