Go on Blue, I’m comin’ too, go on Blue, I’m comin’ too. Old Blue treed, I went to see, he got the possum in the persimmon tree. Possum clum down on a swinging’ limb, Blue barked at the possum, the possum growled at him. He grinned at me, I looked at him, I shook him out, Blue took him in. Go on Blue, you good dog you, go on Blue, you good dog you. When old Blue died, I laid him in the shade, I dug his grave with a silver spade. Go on Blue, I’m comin’ too, go on Blue, I’m comin’ too.
