Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[Ab]Well, now my wife died
and left me a farm
Yes, sir, my wife [G]died and left me a farm
[Ab]Well, now my wife died
and left me a farm
[G]That's why I'm going
back to Char[Ab]lestown
Well, I had me a dog
and his name was Blue
Yes, I had me a dog and
[G]his name [Ab]was Blue
Well, I had me a dog and his name was [G]Blue
And I'll bet you five dollars
[Ab]he's a good 'un too
Singin' [G]ha, blue, I cried, [Ab]come on, [G]blue
[Ab]Well now old blue's
feet was biggin' around
Yes [G]sir, old blue's feet
was biggin' [Ab]around
Well now old blue's feet [G]was biggin'
around
You never allowed a possum
to [Ab]touch the ground
Singin' hi, [G]Blue, you good [A]dog,
[Ab]you[G][Ab]
Well, I'll take my gun
and I'll take [G]my horn
And fetch me a possum
in the new ground [Ab]corn
Old Blue barked and I went to see
He [G]had a possum up in a tree
The possum [Ab]crawled out on a limb
[G]Blue barked at the possum,
possum growled at him
[Ab]Singing, 'all,[G] blue,[Bb]
[G]you can hav[Ab]e some, too[G].[Ab]
Well, when [Bb]old Blue [Ab]died, he died so hard
he shook the [G]ground in my backyard,
[Ab]so I dug his grave with a silver spade
[G]and [Ab]lowered him down [G]with a golden chain.
[Ab]And every link I did call his name,
I called y 'all [G]blue,
[Ab]I'm [Bb]a -co[G]min'[Ab]
[G]to [Ab]you.
Well, I'll tell y 'all just so you'll know.
Yes, I'll tell y 'all [G]just so you'll know.
[Ab]Well, [G]I'll tell y 'all just so
you'll know
that old blue's gone where
the good dogs go.
[Ab]Singin' how [G]blue you[Bb][G]
[G]good darlin'
[G]you.
