Blue and the Possum Chase

Title: Blue and the Possum Chase [Intro] Pickin’ banjo, moon hangin’ high Blue’s on the porch with that look in his eye [Verse 1] Well, I got a hound dog, his name is Blue He’s got a nose that’ll track right through When the night falls and the stars shine bright Blue’s on the hunt ‘til the morning light [Chorus] Blue loves gettin’ possums, runnin’ through the trees Tail like a whip and his ears in the breeze He’ll bay at the moon ‘til the break of dawn Blue loves gettin’ possums, and he won’t back down [Verse 2] He’s stubborn as a mule, but loyal and true Got a heart as big as a country view He’ll curl up close when the day is done But when night rolls in, that huntin’ fun’s begun [Chorus] Blue loves gettin’ possums, runnin’ through the trees Tail like a whip and his ears in the breeze He’ll bay at the moon ‘til the break of dawn Blue loves gettin’ possums, and he won’t back down [Verse 3] Back in his prime, he was quick as the wind Jumped every fence, tore through every bend One night he dragged a possum to the porch with pride Grinnin’ like a king with that critter by his side [Bridge] Now his muzzle’s gray and his pace is slow Those long night chases ain’t like years ago But when he hears that rustle in the leaves at night There’s still a spark and a fire in his eyes [Final Chorus] Blue loves gettin’ possums, runnin’ through the trees Tail like a whip and his ears in the breeze He’ll bay at the moon ‘til the break of dawn Blue loves gettin’ possums, and he won’t back down [Outro] Yeah, Blue loves gettin’ possums… That’s my hound, and he’s the king of the woods
