I am slowly working my way through Wayne Erbsen"s Clawhammer Banjo book. His version of "Old Blue" seems to be a household hit, unfortunately, I only have 4 verses to the song. I'm sure there is more to it. Is anyone out there aware of additional verses?

This is what I started off with. Its a great little song with a catchy melody... just a little too short for my liking. I had a dog and his name was blue, (3 times) Betcha five dollars he's a good dog too. ..... Chorus... Here Blue... you good dog you I shouldered my gun and tooted my horn, Gonna find a possum in the new ground corn. Old blue barked and I went to see, He cornered a possum up in a tree. ..... Chorus... Here Blue... you good dog you When old blue died, he died so hard, Shook the ground in my back yard. Lowered him down with a golden chain, Every link I did call his name. ..... Chorus... Here Blue... you good dog you When I get to heaven first thing I do, (3 times) Grab my horn and call for Blue.

Well, its been a couple weeks now and I'm still stuck on this tune. After digging around a bit, managed to find all kinds of versions. Changing things around and making it your own is kinda fun. I had a dog and his name was Blue I had a dog and his name was Blue I had a dog and his name was Blue Betcha five dollars he's a good dog too. Chorus: Hey Blue, you're a good dog you Old blue's feet was big and round And old blue's ears was long and brown You could hear blue bark from miles around He never let a possum touch the ground Chorus: Well I shouldered my gun and I tooted my horn Gonna get us a possum in the new ground corn I heard Blue bark and I ran to see He cornered a possum up a Simmons tree. Chorus: Roasted that possum all nice and brown Spread fresh taters all around When she's done, I called for Blue Come-on Blue, you can have some too Chorus: Well, I'm gonna tell ya, just so ya knows Gonna tell ya, just so ya knows Old Blue's gone where good dogs go He'll be up there chasin possums ..... till I grow old Chorus: When old blue died, he died so hard He broke the ground in my back yard As I lowered him down on a golden chain At every link, I called his name Chorus: When I get to heaven, the first thing I'll do When I get to heaven, the first thing I'll do When I get to heaven, the first thing I'll do Is grab my horn and call for Blue Chorus: Now here I'm a sittin and I'm all alone Wife and kids left me, cause their sick a this tune.

Hi, I love to sing this tune too. I've started playing CH banjo one year ago but I live in Italy where there are no OT jams. So I find more interesting and less boring for my family to sing the verses of the tune I learn. I'm happy you posted more verses I can add them to the ones I've already learnt using Wayne's book.
