I had a dog and his name was Blue.
Bet you life he was a good dog too.
Blue chased the possum up a hollow limb.
Possum won, got the best of him.
Bye [G] bye [Bm]
[G] you good [D] dog you.
Bye bye [Bm]
[G] you good [D] dog you.
Blue he died and he died so hard he shook the ground in my backyard.
We lowered him down with a golden chain.
Every lady would call his name.
Bye [Bm] bye Blue
[G] you good [D] dog you.
Bye bye [Bm] Blue
[G] you good dog [D] you.

My old Blue was a good old hound.
You could hear him howling for miles around.
When I get to heaven first thing I'll do I'll grab my horn and I'll hold up.
Bye bye [Bm]
[G] you good [D] dog you.
Bye [Bm] bye
