I'm behind in reading, so maybe someone has already
mentioned this, but this song sounds mighty like this
one (which is, as far as I know a "traditional"
folksong - in any case, I don't know who the original
writer was and I don't remember all the words, but
it's a good song if you "howl" when you sing it:
Had a dog and his name was Blue (3x)
Betcha five dollars he's a good dog, too
Here, Blue, you good dog you.
Old Blue died and he died so hard
Shook the [something] in my back yard
Lowered him down with a ball and chain
Every link I'd call his name
Come on, Blue, you good dog you.
