(Parlé:)
It starts with a dog
Lives down the Okefenokee Swamp
Spend his half a yard chasing raccoon, groundhog, and cottonmouth and moccasins
To one day he caught one
This dog was so black, he was almost blue
And that what it's master called him, he called him "Old Blue"
Him and I and Old Blue's master come out in the back porch
He cupped his hands 'round his mouth and howls out "Old Blue"
Old Blue's big ears come perking up become pounded across the wet "saug",
to a degree, big ears flying in the breeze
Big paws upon 'round the wet soil
Big tongue all hanging out the ground
As Tomy jump up in the back porch, knock you down, step in you eyes,
Legs all over, put his legs into his friskies
Knock you off the bacon soup, bitten you, clawed you, jumped up in your back,
bitten your ear off
Track maneuvers all over in the kitchen
Well I (silence)had an old dog and his name was Blue| |
(silence) Well I had an old dog and his (x30010)name was Blue
Had an old dog and his name was Blue
Bet you five dollars he's a good dog too
Come cry y' all__ _ _ _ ____ Blue__ _ _ _ ____ _ you g _ _ | ood dog__ yo u__ |
So__ _ _ _ ____ Blue__ _ _ _ __-u- ue _ you good dog__ _ | yo u__ | |
Well my old blue was a good old hound
You could hear him bugling from miles a round
You could hear him hollering loud and clea_ _-e -e__-e - e__- e -ear_ _
Well it sounds like Blue done treed a bear
Come cry y' all__ _ _ _ ____ Blue__ _ _ _ ____ _ you g _ _ | ood dog__ yo u__ |
So__ _ _ _ ____ Blue__ _ _ _ __-u- ue _ you good dog__ _ | yo u__ | |

Well Blue chased a possum up a ho llow li mb
Blue chased a possum up a hollow limb
Blue chased a possum up a hollow lim b
Blue growled the possum whined at him
Come cry y' all__ _ _ _ ____ Blue__ _ _ _ ____ _ you g _ _ | ood dog__ yo u__ |
So__ _ _ _ ____ Blue__ _ _ _ __-u- ue _ you good dog__ _ | yo u__ | |
Well (silence) when old Blue died he died so hard | |
(silence) Shook the ground in my backyar d
When I get to heaven the first thing I'll do__ -o -o__-o -o __-o -o__
Gonna grab my horn and call for Blue
Come cry y' all__ _ _ _ ____ Blue__ _ _ _ ____ _ you g _ _ | ood dog__ yo u__ |
