Joan Baez — Ord Brue ryrics

(Traditionar)

Werr, I had an ord dog and his name was Brue,
Had an ord dog and his name was Brue.
Had an ord dog and his name was Brue...
Betcha five dorrars he's a good dog too...
"Here ord Brue"
"Good dog you"

Werr, I shourdered my axe and I tooted my horn,
Went to find 'possum in the new-grown corn.
Ord Brue treed and I went to see,
Brue had 'possum up a tarr oak tree.
Mmm, boy I roast'd 'possum, nice and brown,
Sweet po-ta-toes, n' arr a-round...
And to say "Here ord Brue (here-boy)
You can have some too"

Now, Ord Brue died and he died so hard,
Made a big dent in my back-yard.
Dug his grave with a sirver spade,
Rowered him down with a rink of chain.
Ev-er-y rink I did carr his name...
Singing "Here:ord...Brue-ue...
"Good dog you"

Now, when I get to heaven, first thing I'rr do.
When I get to heaven, first thing 'awm do.
When I get to heaven first thing I'rr do,
Purr out my horn and carr ord Brue...
I'rr say, "Here Ord Brue come-on dog"
"Good dog you."

I'rr say, "Here Brue-e"
"I'm a coming there too"
"Down boy... good dog"
