Continuing the color theme, Old Blue and Ol’ Red, today we feature Old Yeller from the  1957 movie.  I wonder if there are any more colors?

Lyrics

Chorus:
Here Yeller
Come back, Yeller
Best doggone dog in the west

Verse:
Old Yeller was a mongrel
An ugly, lop-eared mongrel
Fancy free without a family tree
But he could up and do it
And prove there’s nothing to it
And that’s how a good dog should be

Chorus:
Here Yeller
Come back, Yeller
Best doggone dog in the west

Verse:
Old Yeller was a hunter
A rearin’, tearin’ hunter
In any chase he knew just how to run
And when he hunted trouble
He always found it double
And that’s when Old Yeller had fun

Chorus:
Here Yeller
Come back, Yeller
Best doggone dog in the west

Verse:
Old Yeller was a fighter
A rootin’, tootin’ fighter
In any scrap he knew just what to do
A rough and ready fellow
Although his coat was yellow
His bold Texas heart was true blue

Chorus :
Here Yeller
Come back, Yeller
Best doggone dog in the west
Here Yeller
Come back, Yeller
Best doggone dog in the west
Best doggone dog in the west
