| Song | Old Blue |
| Artist | Joan Baez |
| Album | Volume 2 |
| Traditional | |
| Well, I had an old dog and his name was Blue | |
| Had an old dog and his name was Blue | |
| Had an old dog and his name was Blue | |
| Betcha five dollars he's a good dog too | |
| "Here old Blue, good dog you" | |
| Well, I shouldered my axe and I tooted my horn | |
| Went to find 'possum in the new grown corn | |
| Old Blue treed and I went to see | |
| Blue had 'possum up a tall oak tree | |
| Mmm, boy I roast'd 'possum, nice and brown | |
| Sweet potatoes, n' all around | |
| And to say, "Here old Blue†| |
| (Here, boy) | |
| You can have some too" | |
| Now, old Blue died and he died so hard | |
| Made a big dent in my backyard | |
| Dug his grave with a silver spade | |
| Lowered him down with a link of chain | |
| Every link I did call his name | |
| Singing, "Here, old Blue-ue, good dog you" | |
| Now, when I get to heaven, first thing I'll do | |
| When I get to heaven, first thing 'awm do | |
| When I get to heaven first thing I'll do | |
| Pull out my horn and call old Blue | |
| I'll say, "Here old Blue, come on dog, good dog you" | |
| I'll say, "Here Blue-e, I'm a coming there too | |
| Down boy, good dog" |
