2 Shouldered my ax and I tooted my horn, Gonna get me a possum in the new ground corn.
Chorus i:
Saying, aCome on. Blue, boo-hoo."
3 Old Blue treed, I went to see,
There sat the possum on a ?simmon tree. {Chorus i.)
4 That possum dumb down on a swingin5 limb.
Blue barked at the possum, possum growled at him. {Chorus jr.)
5 He grinned at me, I looked at him,
I shook him out, Blue took him in. {Chorus z.)
6 Got that possum and I put him in a sack,
Next thing I knew I had him on my back. {Chorus i.)
7 Baked that possum good and brown,
And I lays them sweet potatoes round and round.
Chorus 2:
Saying, "Come on, Blue, you kin have some, too."
8 "Blue, what makes your eyes so red?"
"Fve run them possums till Pm almost dead." {Chorus 2.)
9 When old Blue died, he died so hard That he shook the ground in my back yard.
Chorus 3 ;
Saying, "Go on, Blue, Pm comin5, too."
10 Old Blue died, I laid him in the shade,
I dug his grave with a silver spade. {Chorus 3.)
11 I let him down with a golden chain,
Link by link slipped through my hand. {Chorus 3.)
12 There is only one thing that bothers my mind, Blue went to heaven, left me behind. {Chorus 3.)
13 When I get there, first thing Pll do,
Grab me a horn and blow for old Blue. {Chorus 3.)
