Old Dog Blue (Remastered 2016) - Jim Jackson

Written by：Rr/Jim Jackson

I'm goin' back to where I'm come

I'm goin' back to giles county

My wife died and left me a bounty

I'm goin' to giles county

I had an old dog whose name was blue

You know that blue was mighty true

You know blue was a good old dog

Blue treed a 'possum in a hollow log

You know from that he's a good old dog

Blue treed a 'possum out on a limb

Blue looked at me and I looked at him

Grabbed that 'possum

And put him in a sack

Do fer me blue 'til I get back

Old blue's feet was big and round

Old blue's feets was big and round

Never 'lowed a 'possum to tech the ground

Me and blue went out on a hunt

Me and blue went out on a hunt

Blue treed a 'possum in a hollow stump

You know that blue was a good old dog

Blue treed a 'possum in a hollow log

Old blue died and I dug his grave

I dug his grave with a silver spade

I let him down with a golden chain

And every link I called his name

Go on blue you good dog you

Go on blue you good dog you

Blue laid down and died like a man

Blue laid down and died like a man

Now he's treein' 'possums

In the promised land

I'm goin' to tell you this jes' to let you know

I'm goin' to tell you this jes' to let you know

Old blue's gone where the good dogs go

Everytime I hear old blue bark

Everytime I hear old blue bark

Blue's treed a 'possum in noah's ark

When I leaved so guita down

When I leaved so guita down

I'm goin' to pay me gate my cround

When I give them have what your arms gone

Do you know

When I drive my old dog blue

Come on bule in you

Come on bule in you
