I had on old dog and his name was Blue
Bet you five dollars he’s a good dog, too
I had an old dog and his name was Blue
I bet you five dollars he’s a good dog, too
Chorus:
I’m singing, "Yah-hah, Blue
You good dog, you"
I’m a -singing, "Yah-hah, Blue
Oh, yeah. You good dog, you"
Well, old Blue comes when I blow my horn
Old Blue comes when I blow my horn
Blue comes running through the yellow corn
Old Blue comes when I blow my horn
Chorus
Late in the year of ’93
I got pinned ’neath a fallen tree
Old Blue turned, ran straight to town
Came right back with old Doc Brown
Chorus
I remember when Blue and I
Roamed the hills beneath the sky
Then one day my old Blue died
Like a child, I knelt and cried
Chorus
Well, when I get to Heaven
First thing I’ll do
Grab my horn and call for Blue
When I get to Heaven
First thing I’ll do
Grab my horn and blow for Blue
Chorus

Camptown Races
The Camptown ladies sing this song
Doo-dah! Doo-dah!
The Camptown track is five miles long
Oh, doo-dah-day!
I came down here with my hat caved in
Doo-dah! Doo-dah!
I go back home with a pocket full of tin
Oh, doo-dah-day!
Gonna run all night, gonna run all day
I bet my money on the bobtail nag
Somebody bet on the bay
Repeat
Sailing Medley
Blow The Man Down
I’ll sing you a song, a good song of the seaMy Bonnie Lies Over The Ocean
With a way! Hey! Blow the man down!
And trust that you’ll join in the chorus with me
Give me some time to blow the man down
There was an old skipper; I don’t know his name
With a way! Hey! Blow the man down!
Although he once played a remarkable game
Give me some time to blow the man down
His ship lay becalmed in the tropical seas
With a way! Hey! Blow the man down!
He whistled all day, but in vain, for a breeze
Give me some time to blow the man down
My bonnie lies over the oceanSailing, Sailing
My bonnie lies over the sea
My bonnie lies over the ocean
Oh, bring back my bonnie to me
Bring back, bring back
Oh, bring back my bonnie to me, to me
Bring back, bring back
Oh, bring back my bonnie to me
Sailing, sailing over the bounding mainUp The Rises
For many a stormy wind shall blow ere Jack comes home again
Sailing, sailing over the bounding main
For many a stormy wind shall blow ere Jack comes home again
Chorus:
Way, hey and up she rises
Way, hey and up she rises
Way, hey and up she rises
Early in the morning
What do you do with a drunken sailor?
What do you do with a drunken sailor?
What do you do with a drunken sailor
Early in the morning?
Put him in a longboat ’til he’s sober
Put him in a longboat ’til he’s sober
Put him in a longboat ’til he’s sober
Early in the morning
Chorus
On Top of Old Smoky
On top of Old Smokey
All covered with snow
I lost my true lover
For courtin’ too slow
For courtin’s a pleasure
And parting is grief
And a false-hearted lover
Is worse than a thief
For a thief will just rob you
And take all your pay
But a false-hearted lover
Will lead you astray
On top of Old Smokey
All covered with snow
I lost my true lover
For courtin’ too slow
