Old Blue - The Byrds

Well I had an old dog and his name was Blue

Yes, I had an old dog and his name was Blue

Well I had an old dog and his name was Blue

Bet ya five dollars he’s a good dog too

Old Blue chased a possum up a holler (hollow) limb

Blue chased a possum up a holler limb

Blue chased a possum up a holler limb

The possum growled, Blue whined at him

Bye bye Blue

You good dog you

Bye bye Blue

You good dog you

When old Blue died he died so hard

He shook the ground in my back yard

We lowered him down with a golden chain

And every link we called his name

Bye bye Blue You good dog you

Bye bye Blue

You good dog you

My old Blue he was a good old hound

You’d hear him hollering miles around

When I get to Heaven first thing I’ll do

I’ll grab my horn and call for Blue

Bye bye Blue

You good dog you

Bye bye Blue

You good dog you
