C G7 F C [Verse] C Well my daddy was a backwoods self-made type F Never went to school, couldn't read nor write C G7 But made a fortune sellin' hogs, and was suspicious of education C So when I told him I was goin' off to scool F He said "well you listen to me you dumb cityfied fool C G7 C So don't expect no help from me son, and no financial remineration" G C Now my dad was tight but he loved his dogs, that's true D7 G Yeah and his favorite of the pack was called Ole Blue C So I called my dad when I got to college F I said "Dad I know you don't think much of human knowledge C G7 But they got a course down here where they can teach dogs to speak, yeah C Now I don't mean speak like bark for a bone F Nah they say these dogs can carry on C G7 C An intelligent conversation and some even go on to teach, yeah G C And when I heard of that course of course I thought of you D7 G And how great it'd be for you to sit and talk to Ole Blue" C Well the line fell silent and I thought all was lost F But he finally spoke up said "what's that cost?" C G7 I said "Dad it's a bargain at five thousand per semester" C Well he didn't balk and he didn't complain F 'n Ole Blue showed up on the very next train C G7 C And that's how my dad became the priority investor [Chorus] C F C In the higher education of Ole Blue D7 G A story that if it's not at all to be true C7 F About a fiscal windfall situation of my very own creation C Am C G C The inspiration that I call the education of Ole Blue C And the money just kept on rollin' in, ha ha ha C For 8 semesters, forty thousand dollars, woo! C Well all too soon time to graduate F The day had dawned I'd come to hate C G7 The day I had to go home and face my dad C When I stepped off the train he said "where's Ole Blue? F Phew! Phew! Phew! boy come here I wanna talk to you! C G7 C And I swallowed hard and said Pop I've got some news and I'm 'fraid it's bad G You see comin' home on the train Ole Blue was smokin' his pipe C And readin' the New York Times D7 When he took off his glasses, looked over and said G 'Boy are you aware of all your daddy's crimes?' C "Then he said 'he's a mass murderer just ask Denny Hog F And he's treated my mama just like a dog C G7 And rubbed my nose in stuff you wouldn't believe, made me sleep on the hard cold ground C But I can talk now and his days are through F 'Cause I'm gonna tell your mama a thing or two C G7 C About his secret drinkin' habits, yeah and his affair with the Widow Brown' G C And when I heard Blue says those things Pop, somethin' snapped inside my brain D7 G So I grabbed him up and I strangled him and I throwed him off the train, yeah" C Well my dad looked at me his eyes ablaze F And his face contorted like somebody crazed C G7 And it didn't look like he'd believed a word I'd said C Then he grabbed my coat, pulled me up real close F N/C Said "boy there's just one thing I wanna know C G7 C Are you real sure that no-good lyin' fleabag is dead?", and that's [Chorus] C Am C G C F G C The inspiration that I call the education of Ole Blue
