Old Blue - Pete Seeger

I had a dog and his name was Blue

You bet your life, he’s gotten too, sing go on blue

Blue, blue

Every night, just about dark

Blue goes out and begins to bark, sing, go on Blue

Blue, Blue

But, Blue got sick

Got very sick

Sent for the doctor to come quick, sing go on Blue

Blue, blue

The doctor come

He come on around

He, say old Blue, you’re hunting’s done

Saying, come on Blue

Blue, blue

Old Blue died

He died so hard

He scratched littl holes all around the yard

Sing, go on Blue

Blu, blue

Sing, go on Blue

Blue, blue

My dog is great

With a silver spade

Laid him down with a golden chain

Sing go on blue

I’m commin' too

Sing go on blue

I’m commin' too

When I get to heaven

First thing I’ll do

I’ll take my horn and blow her blue, sayin' «Oh, Blue»

Blue, blue

Sayin' «Oh, Blue»

Blue, blue

Sayin' «Oh, Blue»

Blue, blue
