Byrds The Old Blue Lyrics

Old Blue Lyrics

Traditional, arranged and adapted by roger mcguinn

 

 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
