JJ Cale - Old Blue Lyrics

I had an old dog, and his name was blue
bet your life he was a good dog too
blue chased a possum up a hollow limb
possum won, got the best of him
bye-bye blue
you good dog, you
bye-bye blue
you good 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 link we'd call his name
bye-bye blue
you good dog, you
bye-bye blue
you good dog, you
my old blue was a good old hound
you could hear him holler for miles around
when i get to heaven, first thing i'll do
i'll grab my horn and call old blue
bye-bye blue
you good dog, you
bye-bye blue
you good dog, you
bye-bye blue
you good dog, you
bye-bye blue
you good dog, you
bye-bye blue
