Old Blue [Tongan translation]

I had an old dog and his name was Blue

Bet your life he's a rounder too

Blue

Oh Blue

Every night just about good dark,

Old Blue went out and began to bark

Blue

Oh Blue

Everything was just in a rush,

Old Blue tree'd a possum up the white oak bush

Blue

Oh Blue

He chased him out on the end of a limb.

And Old Blue sat down and he talked to him.

Blue

Oh Blue

Blue got sick, sick and very sick.

We called for the doctor to come right quick

Blue

Oh Blue

Doctor come, and he come in a run.

He says, "Old Blue, your huntin's done."

Blue

Oh Blue

Old Blue died and he died mighty hard.

He dug little holes all around the yard

Blue

Oh Blue

When I get to heaven, I know what I'll do

I'll take my horn, and I'll blow for Blue

Blue

Oh Blue

Blue

Oh Blue
