Текстове на песни: Tom Russell. Old Blue.

Well, I had an old dog and his name was Blue
Had an old dog and his name was Blue
Had an old dog and his name was Blue
Betcha five dollars he's a good dog too

Here old Blue
Good dog you

Well, I shouldered my axe and I tooted my horn
Went to find 'possum in the new-grown corn
Old Blue treed and I went to see
Blue had 'possum up a tall oak tree

Boy I roast'd 'possum, nice and brown
Sweet potatoes, n' all a-round
And to say, "Here old Blue, here boy
You can have some too"

Now, old Blue died and he died so hard
Made a big dent in my back yard
Dug his grave with a silver spade
Lowered him down with a link of chain

Every link I did call his name
Singing, "Here old Blue
Good dog you"

Now, when I get to heaven
First thing I'll do when I get to heaven
First thing 'awm do when I get to heaven
First thing I'll do, pull out my horn and call old Blue

I'll say, "Here old Blue come on dog
Good dog you"

I'll say, "Here Blue"
I'm a coming there too
Down boy good dog"
