(Trad. Arr. and Adapt. 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  Betcha five dollars he's a good dog too  Old Blue chased a possum up a hollow limb  Blue chased a possum up a hollow limb  Blue chased a possum up a hollow 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 could hear him hollerin' miles around  When I get to Heaven first thing I'll do  Is grab my horn and call for Blue  Bye bye blue, you good dog you  Bye bye blue, you good dog you  © BMI
