Grandpa Jones Old Blue
[Verse 1]
Once I had an old blue dog
He'd chase him possum 'cross that log
He'd chase him down an' run him up a tree
Then he'd stand and he'd bark for me
G'on Blue, y'rascal you
Tree them possum for me and you
G'on Blue, y'rascal you
Tree them possum for me and you
[Verse 2]
Chase 'em down, and run 'em up a tree
Then e'd stand and e'd bark for me
See that possum sittin' on limb
Winked at me and I winked at him
Come on Blue, that will do
There's enough for me and you
Come on Blue, that will do
There's enough for me and you
[Verse 3]
Old Blue foot was a big and round
When he put it on the ground
Possum better be huntin' in a hole
Catch him 'fore his track gets cold
G'on Blue, y'rascal you
Tree them possum for me and you
G'on Blue, y'rascal you
Tree them possum for me and you
[Verse 4]
As I'm singing up my song
My old blue dog is dead and gone
When he died I laid him in the shade
Dug his grave with a silver spade
Let him down with a golden chain
Every link I called his name
Blue! Blue! Blue! Blue!
Wish it's me instead of you
Blue! Blue! Blue! Blue!
Wish it's me instead of you
[Verse 5]
When I lay my banjo down
I'm a going on to heaven gonna get me a crown
When I get to heaven, first thing I do
Grab me a horn, and I blow for Blue
G'on Blue, I'm a-comin' too
There's room enough for me and you
G'on Blue, I'm a-comin' too
There's room enough for me and you
