歌词
I'm goin' back to where I'm come
I'm goin' back to where I'm come
I'm goin' back to giles county
My wife died and left me a bounty
Way them pretty girls ganged around
That's the reason why I'm goin' to giles county
I had an old dog whose name was blue
You know that blue was mighty true
You know blue was a good old dog
Blue treed a 'possum in a hollow log
You know from that he's a good old dog
Blue treed a 'possum out on a limb
Blue looked at me and I looked at him
Grabbed that 'possum and put him in a sack
Do fer me blue 'til I get back
Here ring yeah ring here
Here ring hey ring here
Who's been here since I been gone
Little bitty girl with the red dress on
Who's been here since I been gone
Little bitty girl with the red dress on
Old blue's feet was big and round
Old blue's feets was big and round
Never 'lowed a 'possum to tech the ground
Me and blue went out on a hunt
Blue treed a 'possum in a hollow stump
You know that blue was a good old dog
Blue treed a 'possum in a hollow log
You know from that he's a good old dog
Old blue died and I dug his grave
I dug his grave with a silver spade
I let him down with a golden chain
And every link I called his name
Go on blue you good dog you
Go on blue you good dog you
Blue laid down and died like a man
Blue laid down and died like a man
Now he's treein' 'possums in the promised land
I'm goin' to tell you this jes' to let you know
Old blue's gone where the good dogs go
When I hear old blue bark
When I hear old blue bark
Blue's treed a 'possum in noah's ark
Blue's treed a 'possum in noah's ark
